Happy New Year! I recorded this video recap for Feast Travel, but this newsletter and podcast go hand-in-hand. There are so many ways to travel: you could be a luxury traveler, a bucket-lister, a super foodie, or an adventure seeker. I sit in the marketplace of travel advisors as the person who will get you closest to Italy’s culture, and that can be done while hiking across Italy or from a 5-star hotel. But Tante Belle Cose is where I can best share stories about art, history, and people. It’s where I do my best work, and I hope to get you hooked into my world of fascination and wonder. And so I am so grateful that you listen and subscribe.
