Apulia please, not the touristic Puglia dear to magazine writers. Its been Apulia for centuries. I see no good reason for changing it now

Except that I've been a magazine writer for years. Old habits are hard to break. Also, many people know this region as Puglia. ;)

So pleased that your trip to Norway was enjoyable! I’m half Norwegian and have visited many times; it does seem to be having its moment this year. And with the heat waves in southern Europe this summer it will be interesting to see if the Nordics get more travel love in the next few years. Enjoy the rest of your summer in Umbria!

I subscribe to your newsletter. I do not subscribe to any social media including Instagram. I do not think so much of your content should be in instagram. I would have liked to hear more about your travel to Norway. As a paid subscriber, I must say I'm left feeling cheated!

First of all, thank you for subscribing! I really appreciate it! I'm so sorry you feel cheated. I'm not quite sure why? Because I also share things on other platforms, and not only here? I've always been of the opinion that I should make my content available to as many people as possible. I included as much as possible about Norway here, but couldn't include the daily photos and videos that Instagram makes possible (substack doesn't support this format). This is just the nature of the platform. For instance I share differently on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and Substack. The content that is free on those platforms is open to everyone. Since I know a lot of my subscribers don't use TikTok I always make sure to include some of those videos to paying subscribers. I hope this answers your concerns and mostly I don't want you to feel cheated in any way.
