Gadling’s Travel Talk in Rome

by Jessica on September 2, 2010

You may already be familiar with the travel news site Gadling – if you are, you may also be familiar with the site’s relatively new travel podcast show Travel Talk. It’s a fun series (hosted by travel junkies Aaron Murphy and Stephen Greenwood) if you’re interested in following travel news, but they also tend to feature a destination each week that may be of interest to travelers as well.

Discover Romantic Venice in Four Easy Steps

by Jessica on September 1, 2010

Discover Romantic Venice in Four Easy StepsThere are places that seem to generate only strong feelings from people who visit – usually either in the “love” or “hate” categories only.

by Jessica on August 27, 2010

Travel to Italy to Watch the Champions LeagueAs the soccer season in Italy is about to get started this weekend, arguably the best soccer tournament anywhere – the Champions League – has already begun. The Champions League for 2010-2011 has three Italian teams among the contenders (sadly, the fourth Italian squad was eliminated in the playoff round). There will be games held in Milan and Rome during this next stage of the tournament, so if you’re a sports fan traveling to Italy between mid-September and early December,

Amateur Traveler Italy Podcasts

by Jessica on August 26, 2010

A travel podcasting and blogging friend of mine, Chris Christensen, is the man behind the popular Amateur Traveler podcast – and when he graciously offered to put together a cute Italy map with links to all the Italy episodes from the Amateur Traveler, I thought that sounded like a fine addition to WhyGo Italy.

On each episode of the Amateur Traveler podcast, Chris talks to one traveler about one destination – so although it’s not a comprehensive guide to that place,
