Big News … Moon Amalfi Coast 2nd Edition Coming Out in 2021!

Amidst the stress and challenges that 2020 has presented there has been one very welcome surprise. Earlier this year I received an unexpected email from Moon Travel Guides, the publisher of my guidebook Moon Amalfi Coast with Capri, Naples & Pompeii. Thanks to all of the lovely people who have purchased my book, it has been selling well and they asked if I could start on updates for the second edition. Already the second edition!

It’s exciting to have the chance to work on the guidebook again and to add in new finds, expand some areas with more detailed tips, and update it to make it an even more useful guide for travelers. Even though it’s a very hard year for businesses on the Amalfi Coast, I’ve found it encouraging to be taking time right now to look forward with hope. The one constant in all of the conversations I’ve had with business owners is the hope that next year will be better. This hope is what will carry us through the winter season ahead!

My hope is that when the second edition of Moon Amalfi Coast is released that we will all be able to travel safely again. I don’t have an exact release date yet for the next edition, but it will be in the second half of 2021. If you’re planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast, Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, or Naples before then, the first edition of Moon Amalfi Coast will help you plan your dream trip. Remember, you can also follow me on Instagram or Facebook for more stories and travel ideas while I’m out and about (or most likely at my desk) updating the guidebook.

A huge thank you to everyone who has bought a copy of Moon Amalfi Coast for yourself or given it as a gift. You all have made this possible and I’m grateful to have the opportunity once again to pour my love for the Amalfi Coast and Campania into the next edition!

What a moving experience yesterday morning to see What a moving experience yesterday morning to see the Olympic torch in Amalfi. 🔥 One of the many many reasons I love living right in the center of Amalfi is that in one minute I can be in the middle of making pasta with artichokes and the next watching a historic moment happen. I never take that for granted! @milanocortina2026 @olympics

Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustra Lovely new Christmas ornament created by @illustrationbyjonathan of Jane Austen’s House in Chawton and her tiny 12-sided writing table. It looks exactly like the beautiful spring day when I was there in April this year. Such a beautiful memory! I think this will have to stay out all year.
Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the de Happy 250th birthday to Jane Austen! One of the definite highlights of my year was visiting @janeaustenshouse in Chawton on a beautiful spring day. I still think of her tiny writing table and what it felt like to stand there and take it all in. I’ve enjoyed the book “A Jane Austen Year” throughout the year - pulling it off the shelf at the start of each month. While at Chawton, I picked up the embroidery kit by @abigailrosecreative made to celebrate the 250th celebration. I’ve been wanting to learn to do embroidery for years, so this was the perfect souvenir from Jane Austen’s House. Still a work in progress, but I’m nearly there! 🧵🪡
I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which I don’t know how to begin describing Naples, which is how I felt seeing “Partenope - Musica per la sirena di Napoli” at the @teatrosancarlo yesterday. This opera in one act was written by the great Ennio Morricone 30 years ago, and it was finally performed for the first time this weekend. Just in time for the 2,500th anniversary of the founding of Naples. Mary Oliver wrote: “A town cannot live on dreams.” I was thinking about that line yesterday and wondering if maybe a town could live on mythology. 2,500 years later, Naples might just be proof that it can.

As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way throug As 2025 winds down, I’ve been making my way through some of the books sitting unfinished on my bedside table. I usually finish a book once started, but occasionally I come across one that is so good I can’t let myself rush through it all at once. I want to hang on to that first read as long as I can, slowly savoring the way it changes the geography of my mind.

This autumn that has been “Upstream” - a selection of essays by Mary Oliver. If “attention is the beginning of devotion,” as Oliver writes in the first essay in the book, I am deeply devoted to her writing. Few writers capture my attention and hold it the way she does. This will be a book I know will return to again and again. And, even though I’ve finished, it might be a long time before it leaves my bedside table. I’ll just leave you with a couple of Oliver’s magical lines:

“You must not ever stop being whimsical.

And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life.”
