Italy Slow Travel Classes - Coming in 2027
Learn what sets each of Italy's regions apart and how to plan a trip that fits your interests and travel style
I’m developing a new online Italy travel class similar to the one I’ve been teaching for 4 years at the local community college. It is designed for travelers who want deeper understanding, practical guidance, and a slow‑travel approach to exploring Italy’s towns, regions, and landscapes. If you’d like to be notified when enrollment opens, you’re welcome to join the Interest List below. I’ll only email when there’s meaningful news to share.
Why This Class?
This class offers a grounded, slow‑travel approach that helps you design a trip centered on your personal travel style - not someone else’s checklist. Whether you’re planning your first trip to Italy or your fifth, you’ll gain tools and insight that make your experience richer and more meaningful.
