Welcome to Episode #50

I am sun kissed and sharing this moment with you from Liguria.  I am in Camogli on the Italian Riviera, a surreal and beautiful experience I have to say.  And so I share this with you as I reach the happy milestone of 50 Episodes! 

So that is kind of fabulous.  I never really imagined I might be in Italy!  After sharing much over the last few years from home (Australia).   Otherwise, this episode is just another beautiful moment on the travel journey....

Enjoy,

David Downie lives on the Italian Riviera -- the Ligurian Coast -- the area of Genoa, Cinque Terre, Rapallo, Portofino and other appealing towns. And lucky for us, he writes about them, both non-fiction and fiction. His latest thriller, Red Riviera, is set in and around Rapallo, and offers excitement and thrills as well as a gorgeous setting.
We talk of why David moved to this area of Italy, and compare the beauty and pleasures of the Ligurian Coastline to the Amalfi Coast.
We discuss history of the area, transportation, and the joys of the main city of the region, Genoa.
We then go on to discuss the beauty spots of Cinque Terre, Rapallo, and Portofino.
We end with a discussion of David's thriller,  and the sequel, coming out next year, and set in Rome.
And David gives us his favorite  memory of the Ligurian Coast.
