Why she moved to Rome and became an expert on all things Italian.
What it is like being one of a few American journalists in Italy during the pandemic.
Why first-person narratives are her favorite stories to write.
How she uses social media to stay current on what her sources are up to.
Why sustainable travel is a topic that fascinates her.
How travelers will make fewer trips, but stay longer at their destinations.
Why the Island of Procida, recent winner of Italy’s Center of Culture 2022, is a must-visit travel destination.
