Some people are pioneers, others of us are always looking for recommendations – a story from someone else who have “been there – done that”, so we can fine tune a trip, rather than start from scratch. That is what travel blogs are about and it is also what Susan Van Allen’s book offers this for Italy – she must have had a wonderful time researching it, what stories we weave when we travel.
Susan Van Allen’s new travel book 100 Places in Italy Every Woman Should Go is a celebration of Italy’s sensual and feminine best ~from a historical, cultural and travel perspective. Van Allen offers a treasure hunt of delightful destinations, charming stories and practical information which bring a unique richness to visiting bell’Italia! Amazon link to buy the book
