Chiara Lanfiuti Baldi

Mini Bio

I was born and raised in Umbria, the Green Heart of Italy, but my connection to nature deepened while exploring the Wild Atlantic Way during my summer breaks as a teacher.

My love for Ireland was sparked when I was introduced to Irish traditional music and folklore as a child, and it brought me to spend months on the tiny, wild island of Inishturk, Co. Mayo.

Before finally moving to Ireland, I solo travelled around Europe, looking for picture-perfect, colourful places, browsing vintage shops and markets, and attending swing dance events.

Favourite Place to Play

My soul feels at home and at peace when I’m in the west of Ireland, especially on the coast of Clare or in the north of Kerry.

Not a lot of People Know This

My days in Inishturk started by hand-feeding breakfast to a pretty territorial and quite spoiled garden robin.
