Having recently traveled to Italy with Insight Vacations Luxury Gold, Sandy Coughlin is the third in a series of guest writers to talk about her experiences. Featured by the likes of MSN, The Huffington Post, and FoodieCrush magazine, she’s also the face behind a fantastic blog on food, Reluctant Entertainer. Most at home talking about hosting parties, gardening, traveling, sharing hospitality and bringing people together, one of the secrets to her success is conjuring the sort of recipe that everybody wants to copy. Here, however, Sandy puts her cookbooks down and talks about her experiences on the Ultimate Italy trip.

Having recently traveled to Italy with Insight Vacations Luxury Gold, Lori Lange is the second in a series of five travel writers to talk about her experiences. Based in the mountains near Lake Tahoe, where she lives with her husband and son, Lori has made waves in the food world with her Recipe Girl blog, which contains over 3,000 original and adapted recipes. Also a contributor to media outlets such as Parade magazine and an expert-for-hire employed by several of the US’ biggest and best food companies, here Lori talks about her experiences on the Ultimate Italy itinerary and her impressions of the country’s universally adored cuisine.

In April, I was privileged to be amongst one of the first group of guests to visit our latest TreadRight heritage sustainability project, the Laboratorio Giuditta Brozzetti weaving workshop in Perugia, Italy.

This is a new, included experience of which guests travelling on Luxury Gold by Insight Vacations’ ‘Ultimate Italy’, or several of Insight’s fantastic Premium Italian tours visiting Perugia can now witness firsthand.
