Florence & Me

Why I Paused My Tuscany Trips


Listen Later

Most Italy trips are built around rushing: too many cities, not enough days, and a suitcase that never stays unpacked. After years of hosting trips, I realized I was helping people re‑create the very pattern she no longer believed in.

In this episode, I share why I chose to pause my old Italy trips and design something completely different: a slow, one‑week stay in a single Tuscan village.

I talk about:

  • The moment she saw that “dream trips” were leaving people exhausted
  • The small, quiet moments guests remembered most (and what they had in common)
  • Why she walked away from a busy model that was working on paper but not in her gut
  • What this new June 19–26, 2027 Tuscan village week actually looks and feels like
  • Who this kind of trip is really for (and who it isn’t)

If you’re tired of checklist travel and secretly craving a week where you can just land, this episode will help you see a different way to be in Italy.
