Podcasts about lake como italy

Longtime listeners will know that when it comes to comic-cons and arts festivals, we're always down. But for this week's guest, we're not headed to Boston or New York City—we're going to Italy to get a closer look at the Lake Como Comic and Arts Festival, which takes place May 16-18.  Steve Morger, the co-founder of the festival, talks with us about how this unique event got its start and the growth he's seen over the years. We hear about some of the guests, Steve's personal favorites and what he enjoys the most about this comic-con by the lake. The location of the festival— the historic Villa Erba in Cernobbio, Lake Como Italy—is perhaps the best part, and Steve shares how he found the place and why it's remained their home all these years.

One of Kevins favourite travel writers, Pól Ó Conghaile, talks about Lake Como. The award winning travel editor with the Irish Independent, takes us on a journey around one of the most beautiful lakes in the world!

In this episode, the FAQ is: What should I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Today's Destination is Lake Como, Italy Today's Misstep: Sometimes, you don't love your roommates when you share a room. Here's why.   Travel Advice: Don't buy another timeshare. If you have one, it's really hard to sell it.   FAQ: What do I tell people who think I can't travel solo?   Answer: Ask them why not. Then listen. Then, address each one of their questions or comments if you like. No one says you need permission to travel solo, but it would be good to tell them you are prepared, have planned for things to go wrong, and have taken this travel step by step to be more likely to be successful. They may be telling you in a way that they will miss you, but don't know how to say that. They could also be jealous. They could wish they could make this trip themselves. So there could be a lot of hidden reasons why they have those opinions.   Today's destination: Lake Como, Italy   Lake Como, Italy, was a quick train ride from Milan, Italy.    On a hot day, about 95 degrees Fahrenheit,  I ventured to Lake Como to cool down. I went there solo for three days, staying in town at a hostel that cost me $150 a night for a “middle bunk.” That was the most I paid for sleeping anywhere around the world. It did have a bathroom with a shower en suite.   It may have been less costly if I had booked earlier than two weeks in advance. Either way, here's some advice if you are heading there.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Como_San_Giovanni_railway_station It was a quick walk from the Como San Giovanni train station to town, so you don't need a car here if you stay in the main city. The lake is a breathtaking view from wherever you are, so the water keeps you cool, even on a boat. Buy the all-day ferry ticket if you can stay for the day. https://lakecomotravel.com/boat-tours-ferry-lake-como/   https://www.navigazionelaghi.it/en/services/disabled-accessibility-and-prm/   Explore all the ferries and see the episode's notes with links, including accessibility information for getting on and off the ferries.   I spent a full day on a ferry tour of the lake, three hours north at its furthest and with more than one tributary. I got off at Menagio and found a paid private club called Lido, but I did not swim there. A few minutes later, while swimming, I met a family from Denmark at a free swim spot. I walked the town and had Nutella-flavored gelato. I then Took the ferry to Varenna. I walked the town.  Then, I took another Ferry to Bellagio. The line was too long to get back on, so I stayed on board. I got off later in the smaller town. I met another couple from Germany. They agreed it was dreadfully Hot. I Stopped to cool my feet in the sea at Argegno—thunderstorms in the morning. I walked to town.  https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/lido-di-argegno#google_vignette I met a girl from Munich and her friend, who took a photo of me with some flowers.  Bellagio has the George Clooney Villa. Most of the music I hear is American pop, not Italian.   https://www.bellagiolakecomo.com/en/bellagio-lake-como-italy/poi-points-of-interest/public-transport-lake-como The lake is carved into a deep canyon. The hills above can be accessed by a special bus-like on rails called a Funicular.   I took the Lake Como Funicular at 7:15 pm, running every 30 minutes until midnight. I highly recommend you do this and give yourself time at the top. The views are stunning, and there's a lot to explore here. It connects Como to the town of Brunate. The trip lasts 7 minutes and reaches the maximum allowed gradient of 55%—so that's steep! The fee is small: only 3 euros (4 dollars) for a single journey and 5,50 euros (7 dollars) for a round trip. So worth it!   When leaving the train station, notice the sculpture of large human hands nearby. It is beautiful and dedicated to disabled service people. One hand is healthy,, and one is wounded.    https://www.explorelakecomo.com/go/monumento-ai-caduti-per-servizio Also, I noticed a little bit of Las Vegas here; inside the train station, there was mini gambling, like in Las Vegas. Ironically, there's a hotel in Las Vegas that's called Bellagio.  Today's Misstep: You don't always love your roommates, right?    I went to bed by 9 p.m. because I was busy the next day. My bed was the middle bunk, and there were 5 in the room booked. At 11 p.m., two girls arrived and talked in street voices. I asked them to quiet down nicely. They did not. I finally did get to sleep, but it was rude of them to wake others with their voices and chatter. Would you agree?   Today's Travel Advice: Don't buy a timeshare or another one. If you have one, it's tough to sell it.   We got conned when we tried to sell our timeshare, so don't let that happen to you. We only lost a few thousand dollars, but it was a warning. These are not easy to sell. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If they ask you for money, walk away. Timeshares are hard to navigate to use your week. I spend hours each year trying to book one, and it's very frustrating.   I want to bring meaning to your future travels. Sign up for the Dr. Travelbest newsletter.

We are continuing our Italian series with this Episode 59 all about the famous and bucket list city in Italy, Como on the beautiful shore of Lake Como. Hear about our amazing accommodation.  Everything about it was fabulous, the views, the room, the shower, the bed, the breakfast, the staff – it just had one small problem that was an issue for us and we tell you all about it. Come with us as we wander around the city of Como around the lake and what happened as we lined up to get on the Funicular (remember, I don't like heights at all). I didn't know if I should be happy or sad. We share the most beautiful restaurants on the lake to have lunch – or hire a beach chair and umbrella and have a swim. Listen as we tell you about how chaotic the ferry system is and how we found a way to enjoy the lake and the most stunning and exquisite place away from all the crowds and you probably haven't even heard of it. Next we explore the old city area and piazzas of Como itself and tell you what happened to completely embarrass me while sitting at a lovely restaurant right in front of the huge Cathedral. Listen to the end to hear about another ferry ride on Lake Como to a small village where we did a live broadcast and the fancy restaurant that we were hoping to have lunch in, but ended up with sandwiches and beer.

In this episode we are taking you on a day trip from Como on Lake Como, to Lugano, Switzerland on Lake Lugano. We tell you about the crazy, anxiety inducing bus trip to get to Switzerland, plus one of the craziest things we have ever seen on a road.  Lake Lugano was utterly gorgeous and I share our walk around the lake to the beach area where I made Lyle see if the water was cold.  Lyle is pretty proud of himself as he shares a very interesting fact he found about Lugano. Next, we go back into Italy and catch a ferry on the narrowest part of Lake Como to Bellagio.  We share why this is everyone's favourite place on Lake Como and how we managed to snag a great spot for lunch right on the lake, even with all the crowds and we give you a tip as to how you can do this too. Lastly, we take a ferry ride all the way from Bellagio, zigzagging our way slowly back to Como.  We tell you all about the towns we stop at and of course some of the famous villas we see on the way. Keep listening to the end to find out which is the fancy hotel, close to Bellagio that the rich and famous stay at, and how much the Russian Oligarch's villa is on the market for.

Lake Como is world-famous as a bucket list destination, but this Italian region always doesn't reveal itself easily to outsiders.

Season 7 – Gap Year: Mediterranean Europe Episode 8 Imagine floating along on a gorgeous lake, surrounded my lush rolling hills and luxurious Italian villas. Sounds great right? It is. But let's be honest, every good thing has its limits. We spend five hours ferrying across Lake Como (from Como to Bellagio), and it was a little more than we bargained for. Nonetheless, we highly recommend visiting this incredible region of Northern Italy. Tune in to this podcast episode to learn from our experiences using the Lake Como ferry system, find out what makes Bellagio unique and hear about George Clooney's villas nearby in Lagio.

I'm coming to you today from Lake Como, Italy and am so excited to talk to you today about understanding your Manifesting Generator aura. If you're a Mani Gen in Human Design and keen to understand more about how this plays out in life and business, this is the episode for you.Human Design is a framework that has helped me deeply understand how to live in flow. Since going down the rabbit hole a number of years ago, I have been set free to do exactly what I want to do in business. When you understand the way you were designed, it's like a big fat permission slip to be ALL you are.So often, Manifesting Generators are told to slow down, take their time and not have so many things on the go at once. But we're not designed to play by those rules. MG's are the people who break the mould, purge the old rules and blaze forward to create something new. That's why I've decided to run the MGHQ Mastermind for all you Manifesting Generators out there!In this episode, I share a little behind the scenes of creating this new offer and some of the common themes that play out for Manifesting Generators in business. I share some examples from my own life and business and how I allow my energetic blueprint to thrive, not boxing myself in to do things a certain way. I also talk about the frustration Mani Gens feel when they're not living in alignment and how it's possible to be constantly on the go without burning out. You'll also hear a little about what to expect inside the MGHQ Mastermind, which is going to be such a massive vibe. As Manifesting Generators, we were born to take risks, see opportunities that others can't see and move at light speed. If you feel a resonance with this, you'll want IN on this mastermind.Stay tuned toward the end of this episode where I share 3 questions to ask yourself to help understand where your energy is sitting. I encourage you to get your journal out after listening and go deep with these questions to discover what might be holding you back from being all you were designed to be.LINKSJoin me inside MGHQ herehttps://www.mybodygraph.com/free-bodygraphSend me a DM on INSTAGRAM

Ciao! This week, Ashley kicks off the episode with an extended intro about her Thanksgiving trip to Ojai before exploring a beautiful place across the pond - Lake Como, Italy! We have guest Rhiannon this week, Ashley's friend from study abroad and former rugby teammate, an ex-pat from the UK who is here to tell us all about her life as a new permanent resident on the Lake. We talk about the language gap, dating apps, social media & beauty, as well as the differences in dates and dating approach between Italian and British men. Rhiannon also gives insight into how Italians view age when it comes to dating, along with how long people live at home, which has affected her opinion on dating Italians. While dating on the Lake can be tough given it is very small and brings a lot of tourism, Rhiannon also emphasizes her experience as a foreigner may be different than for a local - and dating on the Lake may not be the same in the rest of Italy. Lucky for her, though.. Switzerland is just around the corner!   Find us on Instagram: @swipeeastswipewest Find us on TikTok: @ashdavi_   Like what you hear? Rate/Review/Subscribe!

This was a quick video we did while we were in Lake Como Italy early 2015. We didn't really shoot a lot of footage because we only stayed there for 3 hours. We didn't want to shoot the whole time and miss the experience! The footage that we did get was "ok"... Ideally we would shoot things at least 6 times but unfortunately for the sake of the video, and fortunately for our experience, everything we did was all in one take.One thing is for sure though... Its beautiful over there and it was worth it!!!!Stay Tuned to our San Francisco Episodes COMING SOON!!!Music by:https://soundcloud.com/moodsprod"Frootful - Latin Strut (Moods Till Dawn Edit)"

Milan Italy! This was all shot and edited in iPhone 6 and color correction with MacbookPro! This video is to showcase the beauty of Milan and Lake Como Italy.

Lake Como — lined with palm trees and elegant pastel-colored villas, crowned by snowcapped mountains, and criss-crossed by a fleet of ferries and hydrofoils — is a great place to take a break from the intensity of Italy that one finds further south. Just an hour northeast of bustling Milan, Lake Como's ambiance seems to whisper luna di mele (honeymoon). Half the travelers you'll meet here have tossed their itineraries into the lake and are actually relaxing. Bellagio, the self-proclaimed "Pearl of the Lake" is a classy combination of Old World elegance and new world luxury. Varenna — on the less-developed side of the lake — has a romantic waterside promenade, a tiny harbor, and inviting narrow lanes.
