Bed and Breakfasts offer an attractive alternative to bland hotels when traveling for business. Host Lydia Di Liello welcomes sister-in-law Laura Di Liello to the show today to discuss the ins and outs of running an inn and how staying at an inn can help you return home less stressed. Laura started her career as an electrical engineer in the automotive industry. Her experience traveling around the world and staying in countless hotels led her and her husband (also an electrical engineer) to leave corporate culture behind to run an 18-room inn in Pennsylvania. Laura details how to choose the right location, how to tell the good from the not-so-good, and how to get the most out of your stay.

SPECIAL GUEST
Laura Di Liello
An electrical engineer by training, Laura Di Liello has enjoyed an interesting and varied career path that has taken her around the country and around the world. After a 25-year career in the automotive industry, which included expat assignments in Italy and Japan, Laura and her husband Paul decided to ditch corporate life and become innkeepers. During their 16-year ownership of a large inn located in eastern Pennsylvania, Laura spent her days taking care of travelers from all over the world. During this time, she also served on the boards of local and regional tourism and lodging organizations, taught classes on innkeeping and developed training sessions for national innkeeping organizations. After selling the inn in 2021 Laura has entered into a happy retirement phase while keeping a foot in the industry as an independent inspector for a national innkeeping organization. Her love of travel has served her well in each of her career iterations and continues to be a source of growth and enjoyment in retirement.
