Bleeding in Italy

I disappeared for three weeks, and today is the first day I’ve truly felt like myself again.Something unexpected happened after I got home, and one day I’ll share the full story. I’m just waiting until I’m completely on the other side of it because I want to tell it with the perspective it deserves. For now, we’re rewinding to where it all began.Welcome to Part 1 of my Italy series.In this episode, I’m taking you behind the perfectly curated Instagram photos from our luxury trip through Sardinia, Sicily, Portofino, Santa Margherita Ligure, Milan, and the Italian Riviera for my husband’s 40th birthday. We get into what luxury travel actually looks like when you’re dealing with chronic migraines, a week-long period, freezing Mediterranean boat days, thalassophobia, travel exhaustion, and the pressure to pretend every expensive vacation was perfect.We talk about the reality of Mediterranean yacht days, swimming in Italy, why the water in Sardinia is so cold, my lifelong fear of sharks, Swiss Air business class, traveling with chronic illness, hormonal migraines, luxury hotels, expensive vacations, influencer culture, Instagram versus reality, and why I believe honesty has become one of the rarest things on the internet.If you’ve ever searched for an honest Italy travel review, wondered whether Portofino, Sardinia, Sicily, or the Italian Riviera are actually worth the hype, questioned whether luxury travel is worth the cost, or felt like social media only shows the highlight reel, this episode is for you.This is just the beginning. More episodes covering Italy, luxury travel, hotels, restaurants, flights, budgeting, travel mistakes, and everything that happened on this trip are coming soon. And when the time is right, I’ll finally share what happened after I got home and why I disappeared for three weeks.#FunnyPodcast #Relatable #ComedyPodcast #FunnyGirls #GirlsPodcast #WomenPodcast #MillennialPodcast #femalepodcast #popculture Hosted on Acast.
