Sarah Pompei, a bespoke travel advisor in the Southern Italian village of Irpinia, shares her incredible journey of discovering her ancestral roots and following her intuition to create a life she never expected. After visiting the village her great-grandfather emigrated from 100 years later, Sarah felt an undeniable pull that would change the course of her life forever and made the bold decision to quit her job in the U.S. and help the villagers bring tourism to Irpinia, a place she found full of rich culture and authentic connections.

Sarah shares insights into navigating the journey of discovering your ancestral roots—how to uncover where you come from, how the people of Southern Italy go out of their way to help you connect with your family’s past, and how to find a deep sense of community in a small Italian village.

Christina and Sarah dive into the heart of Southern Italian village life, where food is shared, time slows down, and community is everything. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to walk the path of your ancestral roots and follow your heart, Sarah’s story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most magical experiences happen when we take a leap into the unknown and trust the journey.
