The large and distinct islands of Corsica and Sardinia triangulate between France and Italy, and are “owned” by each respective country. Though close in proximity, the different national identity between the two islands is noticeable and each island has its own distinct, defiant character…sort of like that eccentric relative you have who lives somewhere a little off the map…still recognizable as part of the family but also slightly rebellious, proud and 100% into doing their own thing. And when you finally get around to visiting them, they'll hospitably reveal the best regional cuisine, secluded crystal coves and regal mountain views that are inaccessible from the tourist track.
In Corsica and Sardinia, we are savoring every little morsel that the islands have to offer us.
In this ALL WOMEN'S trip, we’re taking the slow route, the winding route,
the meandering route.
None of this get off the bus, take a picture, get back on the bus sh*t on this trip.
But don’t mistake the slow approach for run of the mill or predictable…there’s zero room for boredom or restlessness on this trip. We are moving, tasting, lingering and taking the time to enjoy all the hidden gems the dramatic landscape and unique culture has to offer.
