Untold Italy · Friday, August 14, 2026
Katie Clark explains that the true art of travel lies in embracing unexpected moments and cultural immersion, rather than simply ticking off destinations. She highlights that travel experiences, whether a delightful discovery in a small piazza or overcoming a travel mishap, build confidence and perspective.
“The art of travel is the rush of delight when you turn a corner and find a little piazza with a table waiting just for you in a small village somewhere in the countryside, and even better, just as the church bells toll, Or when you taste your first proper bite of proper napoli pizza.”
“It's the sense of pride that you get when you order your first gelato or you tell your first joke in Italian.”
“But there's one thing that I really want to say. There is no right or wrong way to travel, and your travel style is an evolution and it's a journey of its own, its own right that no one has the right to critique.”
