About Nancy

Ciao! Welcome!

I’m Nancy Perin—a sociologist, storyteller, laughter yoga enthusiast, and mama of a rapper.

I’ve spent over two decades fostering meaningful connections and building bridges between people and communities. My work is deeply inspired by my own intercultural love story and my belief in the power of creating caring, inclusive communities.

Building Bridges, One Story at a Time.

My Career at a Glance:

With a degree in Sociology and over 20 years of experience in Italy, I’ve guided communities and individuals through change and growth.

My professional journey has focused on building bridges—between people, teams, and cultures—through leadership, coaching, and creating meaningful community experiences.

I’m now based in Canada, where I combine my passion for sociology, mindfulness, and storytelling to offer transformative cultural experiences and my writings.

The Heart of It All:

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in connection, whether it’s sharing a meal, a story, or a moment of vulnerability, the bonds we create shape who we are.

I believe in showing up fully and authentically, embracing the beauty in life’s messiness, and building bridges that unite us.

I believe in the power of laughter, stories, and good food to bring people together.

For me, it all comes down to living with courage, creating meaningful bonds, and always leading with an open heart.

My motto? “Stay mindful, sustainable, and open-minded.”
