In this episode, Michael Anstendig and Hanna Lee of Hanna Lee Communications chat with Laura Itzkowitz, a freelance writer for Vogue, Architectural Digest, Departures, Travel + Leisure, AFAR and other top publications. Her topics of coverage include hotels, travel, arts and culture, lifestyle, design, food and wine.
Laura is based in Rome, having lived previously in New York City and Paris. She is fluent in both French and Italian.
Tune in to hear this worldly reporter share her thoughts on:
1. Why she moved to Rome and became an expert on all things Italian.
2. What it is like being one of a few American journalists in Italy during the pandemic.
3. Why first-person narratives are her favorite stories to write.
4. How she uses social media to stay current on what her sources are up to.
5. Why sustainable travel is a topic that fascinates her.
6. How travelers will make fewer trips, but stay longer at their destinations.
7. Why the Island of Procida, recent winner of Italy’s Center of Culture 2022, is a must-visit travel destination.
Laura answers a listener question from Tim and Natasha Drisdelle, who are opening a new hotel, Lord & Liberty, in Nashville, Tenn. They ask how the design of hotels, restaurants and bars will adapt to the “new normal.”
