What if curiosity didn’t kill the cat?

Today I want to introduce you to Maura, Maura is someone that has this way about her, you know those people that are able to multi task impressively well, and those people that are able to make you feel as though you are the most important person when they speak to you…

Well, cue Maura, she works hard at what she does, but she is at the same time so able to see those around her, as one that manages Ostello Bello where I stayed in Palermo I got to watch her as she led her team in the opening days of a new place, how she noticed every guest as they arrived, and in something truly special as she took time out of her busy day to share this chat with me

She shares why she believes what matters most is the impact we have on someone else and how we make them feel, why time to explore and be with people matters so much, and the joy she feels in seeing people come together through her work in hotels

We chat about driving in Sicily, about some deep similarities her and I share in observation and the way we express ourselves, and the importance and peace in having a certain type of thing planned

Maura is one that speaks of life and others with understanding, from a place of care, and a place of curiosity, she is one that will greet you will a smile and a “ciao regazzi” in a way that makes you feel like a friend is happy to see you

She is one that I believe is worth knowing, worth learning from, and worth hearing how this life has made her the incredible human that she is 

So tune in today and meet Maura, a curious and cheerful life, and a reminder for you to always do the same

And to you Maura thank you, thank you for the warmth in which you greeted me each day, for the time you gave me in having this conversation, for your open and sweet heart, and for the way you allowed me to see parts of myself in a new way. You are a gem sweet girl and I’m so glad I got to meet you
