    What would it take for you to leave everything behind and pursue a life of adventure?

    Will Hunt is a former accountant who traded his comfortable life in London for the challenge of canoeing the entire length of the River Gambia while documenting his adventures on YouTube.

    From Untold Italy: Savor Italy – Important Tips for Mindful Travel

    Today, we're bringing you an episode from Untold Italy!

    Traveling to Italy offers a chance to immerse yourself in its rich history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes. However, to make your trip more enriching and sustainable, consider small adjustments that enhance your experience while respecting the local environment and communities. By valuing the places you visit, exploring lesser-known attractions, supporting local businesses, and making mindful decisions, you can enjoy a more authentic and positive impact on your travels. Embrace these tips to ensure that your Italian adventure is not only memorable but also sustainable.

    Today's guest, Corinna Cooke, runs small group tours in Italy and is the author of the best-selling book series Glam Italia! How to Travel Italy. In her guides, Corinna approaches travel differently, showing you the places that you probably don't know about inside the big, famous cities.

    We discuss how to really enjoy your travels to Italy without contributing to the ever-growing problem of overtourism. Many of us are keen to be more responsible and sustainable travelers but don't always know where to start. The good news is that a lot of little choices you make can have a big impact, with the bonus of likely improving your experiences, too.

    What you'll learn in this episode

    • Making small adjustments can make a big difference – to sustainability as well as to your experiences
    • Value your destination – appreciate and respect where you're visiting, which includes reducing your waste
    • Explore beyond the major sights in cities like Rome, Florence, and Venice and also consider visiting less touristy places like Le Marche, Abruzzo, and the Tuscan coasts for affordability and much less international tourism
    • Spend wisely – your spending impacts the local economy. Make mindful decisions about where you shop and what you buy and eating where the locals eat will mean supporting local businesses as well as better food at lower prices
    • Re-consider large group tours. Explore small group tour options or travel independently to avoid feeding the mass tourism model
