EAT, PRAY, LOVE - An Inner Life Travel Love Languages Journey

The Eat, Pray, Love-Languages Journey
(Italy – India – Indonesia)

Romance beckons lovers of all ages to its magical language, no matter in what tongue one finds themselves’ speaking. And nothing evokes the language of love as much as traveling to the individually unique destinations of Italy, India and Indonesia, as did Elizabeth Gilbert in her personal story found within the book, "Eat, Pray, Love" when she evoked upon her personal pilgrimage to heal and renew her body and soul,
and through that process, found true love again.



Italy – when the moon hits the sky, like a big pizza pie…..
within this beautiful country you will discover the true meaning of “Amore”!
Whether it's pizza, spaghetti or learning the language, become mesmerized within the beautiful historic cities of Milan, Florence, Naples, Venice, Siena and Rome; in addition to the gorgeous regions of Umbria, Tuscany and the Lakes along the Alps. Venture into the Italian countryside by bike, car or on foot and find yourself winding through olive trees and vineyards, visiting charming villages, wineries, castles, abbeys and churches. Experience the lovely Amalfi Coast with secluded tucked-away gems such as beautiful Positano (said to be one of Italy’s most romantic locations); or hydrofoil over to the most romantic island in the world, Capri and jump into its famous Blue Grotto together! Each of these beloved areas has a unique Italian flavor and their very own “love language” just waiting to be experienced! If you enjoy strolling hand-in-hand, venturing into the historic arts, days filled with exploring Renaissance history, wine tastings in the Italian countryside and evenings filled with authentic Italian cuisine found in the genuine trattorias, cafes and pizzerias –
then Italy is your love-language destination!



India – tranquil mountain hideaways, fairytale desert settings, relaxing beaches, exhilarating jungles, luxurious spa resorts, picturesque alluring mountains, exquisitely restored fortresses and lake palaces, and vibrantly-colored cities all express India’s language of love.
One of the most remarkable and romantic sights in India, the magnificent monument of love itself, is that of the Taj Mahal (one of the Seven Wonders of the World), was and still is the most romantic expression of love in that Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan had it poignantly built out of love for his wife, who tragically died during childbirth. Her body is inside the monument, together now lying with that of the Emperor’s. Then there’s the hypnotic floral scents found within the Shalimar Gardens (“Shalimar” in Sanskrit means “Abode or Hall of Love”); the breathtaking city of Jaisalmer straight out of a romantic Arabian Nights fable; and Jaipur, also known as the Pink City located in the semi-desert lands of Rajasthan! Or perhaps if you are in need of a more deeply spiritual enlightenment experience, stay within an authentic Indian ashram where you will experience pure serenity.  If you can imagine waking up each day to experience the exotic and alluring appeal of sights and tastes (fragrant coffees, teas and spices along with the distinctly spicy cuisine that the country is famous for) – then India is your love-language destination!


Indonesia – Bali is known as a tropical paradise surrounded by coral reefs and sapphire blue water, and filled with volcanoes, pristine waterfalls, lush rain forests and rice terraces, verdant coffee plantations, palm-fringed beaches of black and white sand, gorgeous landscapes with views over the sea to Java, and an ancient people with a unique tribal culture practicing centuries-old rituals.
Bali is filled with all the wonders for those seeking relaxation, soft-adventure and in-depth cultural touring. It is also famous for its artisans who produce a vast array of handicrafts, including batik and ikat clothing, wooden and stone carvings and silverware. Notably, Ubud is one of Bali’s jewels and is renowned for its art galleries, cafes, local boutiques and its traditional Balinese villages surrounded by lush rice fields and gentle-smiling people. If you and your significant other envision a destination filled with traditional culture, visiting rural villages, attending local ceremonies and festivals, river rafting, mountain biking, exploring local temples and royal palaces, and shopping in colorful markets –
then Bali (and Indonesia’s Eden) is your love-language destination!
