In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 6: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Zoe Shapiro.
When Zoe moved to Italy for what she thought would be one year of remote work, she found herself drawn to a culture that prioritized pleasure and personality over professional credentials. She discovered a new way of experiencing life and found that she couldn’t leave. Her lifelong passion for travel had always driven her forward, never letting budget constraints or solo status hinder her adventures. She launched Stellavision to provide a unique platform that celebrates and connects smart, independent women who share her vision of immersive, culturally rich travel experiences, focusing particularly on introducing travelers to Italy's hidden gems and authentic cultural pulse.
Christine and Zoe discuss:
· The year-long adventure to Italy that became a lifelong journey
· Creating a welcoming and inclusive travel experience, especially creating size-inclusive travel
· The fun and freedom women can have when traveling in smaller groups
Join Christine now for this soulful conversation with Zoe Shapiro.
