Angela Correll is back for her <em data-start=\"342\" data-end=\"349\">third<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"551\" data-end=\"1132\">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: <em data-start=\"836\" data-end=\"912\">Village Life: Discover Tuscan-Inspired Hospitality and Intentional Living.<\/em> She\u2019s also the author of <em data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"959\">Restored in Tuscany<\/em>\u2014a moving memoir about loss, beauty, and hope\u2014and a trilogy of novels, including <em data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1051\">Grounded,<\/em> which was recently adapted into a movie for the Great American Family network.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1134\" data-end=\"1339\">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.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1384\"><strong data-start=\"1341\" data-end=\"1382\">Episode Highlights ~<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1387\" data-end=\"1446\">\u00a0Why Tuscan village life feels so magical and grounding<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1449\" data-end=\"1546\">\u00a0The meaning behind <em data-start=\"1473\" data-end=\"1488\">Vi Aspettiamo<\/em>\u2014a phrase that captures the heart of Italian hospitality<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1549\" data-end=\"1612\">\u00a0The joy of <em data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1574\">Aperitivo<\/em> (and why we should all embrace it!)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1713\">\u00a0Angela\u2019s suggestions for books, movies, and music that let you infuse <em data-start=\"1688\" data-end=\"1703\">la dolce vita<\/em> at home<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1973\">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.
