Below is our interview with Robert and Lili of Espressino Travel who I had the pleasure to meet years ago during a memorable trip to Italy’s Salento. What struck me personally about them was their unabashed enthusiasm for the people they had met in Puglia and how much they wanted to show their guests a once-in-a-lifetime slow travel experience.

This was not about "bucket list" quick visits of every major touristic sites, but more about discovering the culture of a place by meeting the people who live there, and of course eating a ton of delicious local food.
