0:00.0	This is the Untold Italy travel podcast and you're listening to episode number 234.
0:11.8	Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, the travel podcast where you go to the towns and villages, mountains and lakes, hills and coastlines of Bella Italia.
0:23.6	Each week your host, Katie Clark, takes you on a journey in search of magical landscapes, history, culture, wine, gelato, and of course, a whole lot of pasta.
0:35.3	If you're dreaming of Italy and planning future adventures there,
0:39.0	you've come to the right place.

1:36.5	and she and I felt like it was time to address this issue head on.
1:40.9	And I say that because it's been a very deliberate strategy of mine to talk about
1:44.9	slow travel approaches without directly mentioning it as a philosophy because I truly believe
1:50.6	in showing rather than telling. But today I wanted to flip the switch and be very upfront about
1:56.5	how the choices we make as travellers really do have an impact and that we can make changes
2:01.8	by voting with our travel dollars. So let's join Corinna and dive riding.
2:08.7	Ventanata, Corinna. Welcome back to the Untold Italy podcast.
