Summary
You don’t have to move to Italy to start living like an Italian. In today’s episode of A New Life in Italy podcast, I’m joined by Amy Lamparelli, travel planner and founder of Away to Italy . Amy has created a step-by-step approach to planning a trip that’s just right for you—one that also embraces the art of slow travel. This topic resonates with countless people, and s truggling to put slow travel into practice is completely understandable. For many, Italy is a once-in-a-lifetime experience , and of course you want to see all the famous sights. But whether you’re visiting once, returning many times, or even relocating here, there’s a way to balance must-see places with those priceless, everyday, authentic Italian moments. Amy explains it beautifully and brings over 30 years of experience in Italy. And as you’ll hear in this episode, she even purchased a home in Lucca—sight unseen—after taking a virtual property tour during the pandemic. That’s how deep her love for Italy runs, and it’s the same feeling that brought Away to Italy to life. By the end, you’ll be inspired to rethink your travel strategies and consider how to bring the principles of slow travel into your own Italian adventures. Whether you’re planning your first trip or returning for another, this episode is packed with insights to help you connect more deeply with Italy and the Italian culture.
