  • EP39 Is Travel Insurance Worth It?
    May 7 2026

    Today’s episode is about a topic that may not sound quite as exciting as wandering through Rome or sipping wine in Tuscany… but it’s one that comes up constantly in my conversations with clients: travel insurance.

    • Do you really need it?
    • Is the coverage from your credit card enough?
    • What about the insurance the airline offers when you book?
    • And if you’re healthy and don’t travel with medical issues… is it worth the cost?

    So today, we’re having a practical, honest conversation about travel insurance — what it actually covers, what people often misunderstand, and how to think about risk realistically when planning a trip abroad.

    But more than anything, this episode is really about helping travelers make informed decisions so they can protect both their trip and their peace of mind.

  • EP38 The Magic of Florence
    Apr 23 2026

    In this episode, we’re finally diving into one of Italy’s most iconic cities - Florence.

    While it’s known as the birthplace of the Renaissance and home to some of the world’s most famous art and architecture, Florence is also something more - a city that can feel deeply personal depending on how you experience it.

    We talk through:

    • What makes Florence feel different from other Italian cities
    • How to choose the right neighborhood for your stay
    • What to prioritize (and what you don’t need to do)
    • How to use Florence as a base for exploring Tuscany
    • And how to think about your time there, whether you have a day or a week

    But most importantly, we explore how to experience Florence beyond the checklist and how to find those “magic moments” that make the city so unforgettable.

    If you’re planning a trip, or dreaming about one, this episode will help you see Florence in a whole new way.

  • EP37 Do Italy Your Way
    Apr 8 2026

    Planning a trip to Italy can feel exciting… but also overwhelming.

    With so much information out there, from social media to well-meaning advice from friends, it’s easy to fall into the trap of trying to plan the “perfect” trip based on what everyone else says you should do.

    Slow travel. Off the beaten path. Authentic experiences.

    But what do those really mean, and more importantly, are they right for you?

    In this episode, we take a step back from specific destinations and talk about how to think about your trip to Italy. From understanding your travel style and readiness, to breaking down popular travel trends, we share a simple framework to help you design a trip that truly fits you.

    Because there’s no one right way to experience Italy ….only the way that’s right for you!
