Thinking about going to Italy?

Here are a few reasons to travel with Travel Italy the Write Way Tours and Linda and Tim Jenkins:

  • We create unforgettable experiences for small groups of travelers (never more than 12 people) who don’t like tours.
  • Why “the write way?” Writing is something Linda does all the time when we travel; if you would like some journaling tips, just ask and she’ll set some time aside for a little “workshop.”
  • We always provide you with a journal, anyway, just in case you get inspired.
  • We always provide you with some free time and are happy to help with suggestions for touring sites and restaurants.
  • The reason we do not include airfare in our trips is that we want to give travelers the option of arriving earlier or staying later and extending their trip beyond just our offered destination(s). Besides . . . we’re not travel agents!
  • When we say, “dinner on your own” or “lunch on your own,” that doesn’t mean we can’t eat together. It just means those meals are not included in the price.
  • We provide all ground transportation, museum entrances, local tours, all breakfasts as well as many dinners and lunches. One of the reasons we do this is (a) to give you the experience/adventure of choosing your own meal experiences, and (b) to choose not to eat if it’s all been too much that day!
  • We encourage the “passeggiata” – the town walk, starting about 5:00 – even in large cities, along the main corso. We’ll experience together this most Italian of rituals.
  • We do not believe in Single Supplements.

Books & Writing

Dream. Travel. Write.

Writing has long been Linda’s passion, and she started writing about Italy nearly 20 years ago. Travel Italy the Write Way combines her love for Italy with her love for travel writing, blogging, and finding new ways to tell about the experience of travel in both prose and poetry.

November 1 is Reclamation Day

There was only one sign for pumpkin spice anything, and it was at the train station in Rome. Starbucks, of course, and my apologies to all who love the fall-themed brew. But then there was the Trick or Treat sign on the Irish pub (!) in my Italian town of Sulmona. It was jarring. Halloween hasn’t yet come to Italy in a big way, and that’s fine with me. Call me a grump. Because the rest of the year (as most of you know) I live in Salem, Massachusetts where, over the past 20 years, Halloween starts in early September and runs through mid-November. The crowds are staggering – nearly one million people come into town on Halloween weekend alone.…
