Joining us for the second half of our conversation Marco Traina, sharing his concept of Beet Community, a coliving space in Palermo that fosters a sense of home and belonging for travellers. He talks about the importance of creating connections between locals and nomads, the challenges he navigates while running a coliving space, and the upcoming Italia Nomad Fest, which aims to bridge the gap between travellers and local culture. We explore sustainable tourism, community engagement, and the role networking plays in entrepreneurship.
