Kimberly's Italy Travel
Welcome to Kimberly's Italy, a travel podcast focused on all things Italian. My love affair with Italy started with a move to Milan many years ago, and the enriching experience became part of my DNA. Our episodes highlight some of our own travels and the comical lessons we learned along the way. You can be the beneficiary of invaluable travel tips, and at the same time enjoy a few laughs. We share our passion of the Italian cuisine, history, art, architecture, and the welcoming nature of the Italian people, whom define this incredible country. You can reach me at: Kimberlysitaly.com

6. Lake Como Part 3
Hear about the stunning mountains that surround Lake Como, and all they have to offer. You can choose from a variety of trails: easy walking paths through medieval villages slightly above the lake, or more athletic hikes up to idyllic mountain accommodations that serve regional cuisine and the best night sleep you might ever have! A bird's eye view of the lake, fresh mountain air and alpine cuisine make for a very memorable trip.

5. Lake Como Part 2 ...Lake Como is MAGIC!
We share more of our favorite idyllic villages that you can reach by boat, and those to visit by car, if you can hold your own driving with Italians! From the grandeur of Villa d'Este in Cernobbio to the botanical gardens in Varenna, there is so much beauty to discover on Lago di Como. Incredibly friendly people, delicious cuisine and breathtaking beauty is what makes it such a special place.

4. Lake Como Part 1
Lago di Como – la mia favorita! It's renowned for it's beauty for good reason, but there's much more to it and that is exactly what we'll discuss. I'll share where to find the perfect lakeside trattoria for a well deserved meal after walking the historic foot paths through ancient villages. Then you can call my friend Giacomo who will pick you up in his classic boat. And that's just day one!

3. Milano Part 2 of 2
A bit more of the city that started my long love affair with bel'italia. I'll share with you a few tidbits of what not to order, why you should climb the 919 steps to the rooftop of the Duomo, how walking through the main cemetery is almost as good as a museum, and how to spot the red flags (that I missed) when befriending someone associated with the mafia... Life in Milano is anything but dull!

2. Milano Part 1 of 2
Milano is often overlooked compared to the more well known Italian cities, and that is fine with the locals! It's big and busy, but filled with beautiful architecture and very well dressed people thanks to the fashion industry that fuels the city. Try speaking the few words or phrases you know in Italian to a Milanese and the next thing you know, you are having a cappuccino with them and politely being corrected on your Italian.
