About us
Meet Johan and Aletta
Hi, we are Johan and Aletta.
We have been blogging and taking photos since the beginning of the century. Does that make us old? Maybe in calendar years, but not in spirit.
Our approach to travel is to plan a little bit but to not be overly concerned. We love to go with the flow and change our plans on a trip 100 times.
We love traveling in the off-season, so you will seldom find us anywhere in mid-summer, except for when we travel with the beloved grandkids who can’t travel in the shoulder season like we like to do.
Life is too serious, so when you travel, leave all that baggage at home and embrace what is happening to you. This brings the saying “travel light.” Think about the things you have no control over, like the lines in-front of your favorite gelato spot, or the rain. Smile, talk to the person next to you, or splash in a puddle like a child. Ask for the menu in Italian, and order something that sounds super sexy, you can even try to pronounce it…then enjoy what you get. Go back to the old staples when you get back home.
Our love for Italy is real! We love everything, the architecture, the food; we even love to just laze in a piazza.
Life “La Dolce Vita” – the sweet life. You only have one, ENJOY IT!
We hope that our stories will motivate you to travel with Confidence,
No matter where you go!
This blog aims to document what we have done on our trips, the fun we had, and how we approach travel in general. Each of our blog postings will have tips 👀, helping you to learn from what we know and apply it to your trip. Although the blog might focus on Italy, the tips often apply to travel to any destination.
Travelers’ luck is more of a mindset than a real thing. The blogs will point out where we had these unplanned travelers’ luck 🍀, and how we embrace it to make for a very memorable trip.
