About this episode
Have a travel question? Text us and we’ll tackle it on an episode!This week on Travelling Through Life: A Podcast on the Go we meet Paula Stanghetta, the owner of MP TOURS and my mom! It’s thanks to her that I’ve got my travel bug. She joins us to chat about being a lifelong traveller, navigating the pandemic as a tour operator, missed flights and scary travel experiences, and the joy of language learning. Paula shares how she started MP TOURS, a small group food, wine, and culture tour company to off-the-beaten-path destinations in Italy. We also get deep, discussing how travel has renewed her faith in humanity. Travelling through Life: A Podcast on the Go is a fun and quirky show from Travel with TMc that delves into all things travel and adventures from the road, in the air, and in between here and there.
