Part 1: Venice, Pisa, & Florence

Part 2: Assisi & Rome

Part 3: Pompeii, Sorrento, & Amalfi

Hey 4:13ers! I’m back from Italy, and as promised, here are a few audio pictures from the trip so you can experience it with me! But there was so much I wanted to share that I had to break it up into three BONUS episodes.

You’ll get to come with me to Venice, Pisa, and Florence, and then we’ll head over to Assisi and Rome before wrapping up the trip in Pompeii, Sorrento, and Amalfi.

Doesn’t that sound fun?!

Well, if this is your first time listening to my audio pictures, let me explain what they are…

Since I’m blind and can’t enjoy visual pictures of my trips, I take audio pictures, which are simply audio recordings of a place, moment, or memory I want to capture. Then as I listen to that voice memo later on, I can picture it in my mind’s eye.

It’s my way of flipping through the photo album and revisiting that special moment in time.

So, as you listen to these audio pictures, you’ll get to experience the trip the way I did. These snapshots will immerse you in the surroundings and help you soak up some of the rich, Italian culture.

And since Italy is such a beautiful, sensory-rich country, it’s the perfect way for us to experience it together.

As you listen to the podcast, follow along on the itinerary or check out the photos and videos I posted from the trip. You’ll find everything you need below, including a list of my must-have travel gear.

Are you ready? Italy … here we come!
