Ciao Reader,
I'm a true advocate for slow travel. But let me tell you about the time I got caught up in the whirlwind of a group tour.
It was 2022, and after the long pause of the shutdown, I was itching to return to Italy.
✈️ So, I joined my church for an 11-day, fast-paced tour.
It sounded like a great idea – reconnecting with friends and revisiting beloved sights.
🤦🏻♀️ But reality hit as we raced from Rome to Florence and down to the Amalfi coast, barely catching our breath.
It felt more like checking off boxes than truly embracing Italy.
The constant rush, the tourist traps, and the less-than-authentic meals were a stark contrast to the Italy I know and love.
😓 Watching first-time visitors to Italy with glazed-over expressions made me realize how much they were missing.
Italy deserves more than a fleeting glance – it deserves to be savored.
🎇 This realization sparked my blog. I wanted to show everyone the Italy I know – the one untouched by mass tourism.
That’s why I created my latest guide: "Slow Travel In Italy: 20 Destinations To Explore."
This free guide is your key to experiencing Italy the way it should be – slowly and beautifully.
It includes:
- 20 handpicked destinations that offer authentic experiences.
- Includes both well-known regions and hidden gems.
- A handy map to help you plan your perfect slow travel itinerary.
Why slow travel?
- Deep Connections: Spend more time in fewer places to truly connect with local communities.
- Authentic Experiences: Enjoy genuine, immersive experiences away from the tourist traps.
- Mindful Exploration: Appreciate the art of living well and savor every moment.
