54. The Amalfi Coast - A Month of Magic, Healing & Local Life on Italy’s Dreamiest Coast

In this heartfelt episode, Kelsey sits down with Giovanna Silvestre, author of Confused Girl and @confusedgirlla on Instagram, to talk about her unforgettable month living on the Amalfi Coast. From mid-October to mid-November 2023, Giovanna stayed in an AirBNB with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, immersing herself in the beauty and rhythm of local life. She opens up about how this magical stretch of Italian coastline became a place of healing as she grieved the loss of her father and finished writing her book. From charming seaside towns to moments of deep personal transformation, this episode is a reminder of the power of travel to restore and inspire. Giovanna also shares the best time to travel to Amalfi coast, great restaurants and hotel recommendations.
