Passion for Italy Podcast Episode 11: Sardegna, A Sea of Dreams with Lindsay Sinko

07/17/20 • 8 min

We turned on the news one evening this week. I sighed my nightly sigh. Here we go again. More fear. More anger. More uncertainty. More isolation. But then, my husband picked up his guitar and began to play the first few notes of Spunta la Luna Dal Monte, a song we adore by Andrea Parodi and Pierangelo Bertoli. It’s sung in a mix of Italian and Sardinian. As he played, we looked at each other and immediately, my spirit calmed. I realized, this is why we have to keep going. Because no one can distance us from our dreams. No one can take away the love in our hearts. And no darkness lasts forever. Produced by Gemma Green Close, Passion For Italy Travel. pfitravel.com.

Passion for Italy Podcast Episode 10: Rebirth in Italy, A Personal Renaissance with Lindsay Sinko

Over the past few weeks, you have heard stories from our suppliers about their lives during COVID, how they’ve gotten by and made the most of a difficult time. You’ve also heard from Gemma and Allison about their love stories with Italy. Today, I’m sharing mine. This is a personal story, but I hope it inspires you to make the most of the time you have with the people you love, to live every moment, and to get out and see this beautiful world together. Many of my clients ask me about bringing their teenagers, how to make the trip interesting for them so they won’t get bored. It is one of my favorite questions. And the short answer is, “Bring them with you, and watch what happens.” Italy changes people. Italy creates. Rinascimento is the Italian word for Renaissance, rebirth. We almost always think of it in relation to art, and Italy as its home. However, there is another type of rebirth that occurs for many of us when we visit Italy for the first time, and every time. And another still, that brings back the memories of loved ones no longer with us, and keeps them alive in our hearts. Produced by Gemma Green Close, Passion For Italy Travel. pfitravel.com.

Passion for Italy Podcast Episode 12: Traveling with Children

Ciao, this is Allison Spiegel with Passion for Italy Travel in the New York office. This summer’s unique challenges have prompted a return to the summers of our youth. Simple, lazy days filled with nature, family time and lots of creativity and imagination. And as wonderful as these days may be, many of us are yearning to travel the world again. As a mom, I understand how the prospect of international travel with kids can be as daunting as it is exciting. As parents, we question everything, from ground transportation and hotel amenities to sleeping arrangements and food options. And ultimately, the biggest question we ask is how family friendly will our destination be? Having traveled to Italy with our own children, we know the ins and outs of designing a trip that will be culturally enriching and most importantly, manageable. So, the answer to the question, can you travel to Italy with kids, is yes you can!Produced by Gemma Green Close, Passion For Italy Travel. pfitravel.com. [email protected]
