Ep. 16: Quick Travel Insights for Italy in 2025

I just got back from a quick trip to Italy—11 days, which is about the average stay for most of my clients. In doing so, I had the chance to better walk in your shoes and check and challenge the travel planning advice I offer. Now that I’m home and have had time to reflect, I’m doubling down on my advice for what to do on arrival day, the maximum number of locations you should have in a 10-day trip, and where to find the best food experiences. I’ll also offer a little preview of my trip to Turin, which will be the subject of a forthcoming episode. Finally, I discuss the view of Americans in Italy right now in this strained political moment and share my advice on how to navigate it. 00:17 Experiencing a Short Trip to Italy00:56 Dealing with Jet Lag04:37 Traveling Between Cities via Train08:05 Restaurant Reservations in Rome10:28 Exploring Authentic Italian Food Culture12:09 The Charm of Torino14:06 Perceptions of Americans in Europe16:47 Community and Subscription Information This is a public episode.
