Creating Home, Community & Adventure Abroad
Manage episode 520075517 series 3528684
“We are creating a new industry standard — totally a new industry — which is called home basing.”
Meet Anna Marie Lavasari, a pioneer in reshaping the travel lifestyle with a community model that blends independence with companionship in beautiful locations like France and Italy.
I speak with Anna Marie Lavasari, founder of Le Joie Home Base, about a part-time, community-driven way for women to explore Europe and beyond while building lasting friendships and cultural connections.
Enjoy a safe, supportive, culturally rich home base where you can stay for two weeks to a month — long enough to savor local life, short enough to remain flexible. Residents enjoy shared activities, communal kitchens, chef-prepared meals, excursions to markets, and the comfort of knowing that trained “sorellas” (sisters) are nearby for health and safety support.
This episode speaks to the heart of what seasoned travelers want today: belonging, cultural immersion, safety, and meaningful connections.
