Angela Correll is back for her third conversation on Travel Connections (yes, she officially holds the record!), and every time we talk, it feels like slipping into an easy, meaningful conversation over a cappuccino in a sunny piazza. Angela and her husband Jess have been traveling to Italy for more than 25 years, and recently, they restored a former horse stable within the medieval walls of Montefollonico, a tiny Tuscan hilltop village. Their love of this slow, intentional lifestyle inspired Angela\u2019s newest book: Village Life: Discover Tuscan-Inspired Hospitality and Intentional Living. She\u2019s also the author of Restored in Tuscany\u2014a moving memoir about loss, beauty, and hope\u2014and a trilogy of novels, including Grounded, which was recently adapted into a movie for the Great American Family network. In this episode, Angela transports us straight to the cobbled streets and vine-covered walls of her village, sharing not just stories, but also ways to bring a little slice of Tuscany into our own lives. Episode Highlights ~ &amp;nbsp;Why Tuscan village life feels so magical and grounding &amp;nbsp;The meaning behind Vi Aspettiamo\u2014a phrase that captures the heart of Italian hospitality &amp;nbsp;The joy of Aperitivo (and why we should all embrace it!) &amp;nbsp;Angela\u2019s suggestions for books, movies, and music that let you infuse la dolce vita at home If you\u2019ve ever dreamed of lingering in a small Italian village, sipping wine at sunset, and embracing the rhythm of slow travel, you\u2019ll adore this conversation. Angela\u2019s stories, insights, and her gorgeous new book will whisk you away\u2014no passport required. And here\u2019s the best part: I\u2019ve created a tour that takes you right into this same magical Tuscan village. Imagine wandering the same charming streets, tasting the local flavors, and maybe even crossing paths with Angela at the neighborhood alimentari.
