  • Used to Be So Good!

    This used to be my favorite travel podcast and community - full of generously shared tips and hidden gems. Now it’s just a cringey sales pitch with surface level tips you can find on your own. The older episodes are still a treasure trove for planning travel to Italy, but don’t bother with the new ones.
