What if one of the best ways to experience Italy isn't finding somewhere new—but going back?
When I think about the years I lived in Florence, some of the places that meant the most to me weren't famous landmarks. They were the places I returned to again and again—the same pub, the same tiny panino shop, the same familiar faces who eventually knew my name.
And years later, Stefano and I felt that same thing beginning to happen in the tiny Tuscan village of Radicondoli.
In this episode, I'm talking about why connection takes time, why being a good guest doesn't mean pretending to “live like a local,” and what can happen when you stop searching for the next best place and simply return to somewhere you already loved.
Maybe we're asking for connection without giving it enough time to happen.
