Summary

In this episode of The goop Podcast, recorded from her hotel room in Naples, Gwyneth Paltrow reflects on the cities, experiences, and cultures that have shaped her. She shares her most memorable travel stories—filming The Talented Mr. Ripley during a period of personal loss, a coming-of-age exchange trip to Spain, summers in the Berkshires, and an unforgettable weekend in Paris with her father. Along the way, she explores how travel has expanded her worldview, deepened her appreciation for thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and quality, broadened her palate, and inspired her to live more presently. From Italy to Indonesia, London to Long Island, Gwyneth traces a map of memory, healing, and becoming— and the places still calling her name.

1:05.3	just me today for another edition of a solo pod. I am currently in Italy, in a hotel room in Naples,

1:47.8	like when you live outside yourself, outside your city, or take a foray out of your own country
1:55.6	even. So as I sit here looking out at the harbor in the Mediterranean, I was reflecting on the last time I was here in Naples.
2:06.2	We shot a day of the talented Mr. Ripley here in the opera house many years ago now.
