In this episode, I chat with Amy Marsalis, who, along with a dozen girlfriends over 50, packed her bags (no checked luggage!) and headed to Italy for an active women’s hiking and culinary trip with the Backroads Travel Company. I look forward to you hearing how this girls’ hiking trip in Tuscany came about…and what it was like to actually do it.
Listen here or on Apple, Spotify, etc.
We discuss the costs of the trip to Italy, what she wouldn’t do again, truffle hunting, and wonderful zucchini. She reminisces about the luxurious hotels, the great guides, and the off-the-beaten-path experiences their group shared. And she answers the question some might ask—How do I know if I can handle this?
