Florence is an enchanting city that’ll tug at your romantic side. Abuzz with vibrant energy, this classical city is packed with Italy’s very best, including ancient architecture, tranquil gardens, and bona fide locals. This Italian dream became a reality for today’s guest, Melinda Gallo, an expat writer and photographer who has made Florence her home. We open the episode by finding out about Melinda’s history. Having graduated from California, her first stint in Europe was in France as a technical writer for an IT company. Her second stint in Europe was born out of a brief conversation she had with a friend, where she emphasized her desire to feel inspired to write creatively again. Two weeks later, Melinda was in Italy. Yet, her first few days felt like misadventure, only for her perceptions to be turned around. Stay tuned and you’ll hear about what changed for her, how she integrated herself in the city, and why leading with your heart can’t fail you. As our chat evolves, Melinda speaks about the wonder of Florence, its scenic beauty, and the influential minds who have their greatest creations here. We then take a look at Melinda’s blog, talk about its evolution, and how she introduced photography into it. Melinda is intuitively articulate and talks deeply about the experiences she’s had — good and bad. To hear more about them, be sure to join us today.
