The most beautiful village in Italy - Santa Maddalena, Tirol Dolomites
We decided to knockoff a few months in a very unusual place for digital nomads. While most rub shoulders (and who knows what else) among countless other nomads all over S.E. Asia, we elected to to venture off in complete disconnect 'bliss': the Italian/Austrian border, in the Tyrol region of northern Italy.

About Us:
I'm PJ. My partner, inspiration, trainer, chef, and moral compass, Risa, are what we (reluctantly) refer to as, digital nomads. I say, reluctantly, as I've been living the digital nomad lifestyle for about 15 years now (long before the term was coined, and became the cheesy trend it is today. It seems that everyone these days on vacation with a laptop, a pina colada next to them, Avicii on their headphones, and a dozen memory sticks filled with selfies now considers themselves a (don't forget the hashtag) digital nomad.
I started out at age 19. I quit my job at the time, to focus on the then still relatively unknown arbitrage business model as applied on eBay. Long story short, I saw an opportunity, invested all I had in it (time + money) and by my early 20s, I no longer had any interest in returning to Canada (where I grew up). I bounced mostly around Asia, for many years (all the usual nomad hotspots: Thailand, Vietnam, S. Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, with a preference for Japan (lived all over Japan, from Tokyo, to the most remote Japanese islands in the Pacific).
In late 2013, one of my returns to Tokyo, I met a captivating young woman, Risa, who helped me to re-calibrate my high-flyin', rock-star lifestyle and regain focus. Within a few months of meeting, she elected to quit her job in Tokyo and joined me on this nomadic journey. This channel, will document our perpetual traveller lifestyle. It's not always easy, it's not always fun. There are highs and lows. Sometimes money is very tight, other times it seems like it's the least of our worries. But when done right, the digital nomad lifestyle is a journey unlike any other.
Over the last few years, we generally stay off the beaten path and instead venture into areas seldom spoken about in digital nomad circles. You won't see us visiting Bali, Saigon, or Bangkok. Been there, got the SIM card, and still feel a bit hungover.
As we travel, we focus on personal growth, on disconnecting, unlearning, and thus thriving. We attempt to engage in philanthropy when we can. We respect the cultures kind enough to allow us to visit their land and their homes.
Feel free to send us feedback, comments, suggestions. Thank you for taking an interest in our journey. More videos of exotic places, stories, and people, will be uploaded weekly. As a demonstration of my gratitude to you for taking an interest in us, I will continue improving the quality of the content I create for you on a regular basis.
PJ, and Risa

Dolomites : Amazing Val di Funes Santa Maddalena
Support our channel :
The Odle mountain peaks and the church of Santa Maddalena are the symbols of the Val di Funes. Santa Maddalena is located in the rear part of the valley at 1.339 m e has about 370 inhabitants. Here, at the foot of the Ruefen, also one of the symbols of the valley rises, which is the Santa Maddalena church (1,394 m): according to a legend, this is the place where the miraculous image of Santa Maddalena was washed up by the Fopal river. This church, obviously with the Odle mountains in the background, is one of the most popular photo motifs of the Dolomites.
Only a few km from Santa Maddalena, there is the Zannes mountain pasture, which is starting point for a variety of hikes in all the seasons. Adolf Munkel trail at the foot of the Odle peaks, a walk on the nature trail, to the Rif. Gampen, or a tour to the Sasso Putia, the Puez-Odle nature park offers destinations for all mountaineering levels. By the way, Santa Maddalena is also the site of the visitors’ centre, making you admire this green area from a bird’s eye perspective, “touch the mountains” and much more.

Europe's Most Beautiful Hidden Romantic Village - Santa Maddalena, Dolomites Casies in 4K
Easily one of our favorite villages on earth that we've had the fortune of discovering over our combined 20+ years of non-stop globe trotting journey. Santa Maddalena, in the valley of Gsies in northern Italy (just south of the Austrian border) is a marvel for all the senses. It's no wonder we return here several times a year, often spending 4-5 weeks here, just to unwind, regenerate, and appreciate our planet in it's purest, organic form- an experience that is becoming increasingly difficult to find around the globe.
A special note to our friends here: I apologize for being unable to upload any videos over the last two months. My travel schedule had been unusually busy, leaving me with very little time to edit the numerous backup drives filled with footage. Expect a few more cool videos over the next week or so (Monaco, Switzerland, Thailand, Spain, Japan, and a few others).

This little pocket of Northern Italy has to be experienced to be believed.

The Puez/Odle National Park offers many hikes of varying difficulty levels, so there is something for everyone who is interested in exploring the wild countryside near the mountains.

20km hike from Italy to Austria. Gsies Sud-Tirol Casies Santa Maddalena, Italy
We're visiting one of our favourite places on earth, the Italian village of Santa Maddalena, only a few kilometres south of the Austrian border. Mind you, everything here is in German, and you feel like you're in Austria. It's one of the most beautiful regions on earth. When here, we love taking day-long hikes in the mountains. Today we started at an elevation of 1300 metres above sea level, and hiked up to one of the summits at 2552 metres above sea level, then hiked down on the Austrian side. One of the toughest hikes I've gone on yet... as is evident throughout the video (Risa barely broke a sweat... sigh.)

Note: Some ask me about the MicroSD cards I use (they're a pain sometimes, if you choose the wrong one, from an unreliable brand, etc). There's little worse than spending a day getting once a in a lifetime shots, and coming home only to see issues with the data (corrupt files, card errors, etc). Both cards I use above I stand by: I've not had any issues with either (2 years on the Sony Camera, and 1 year on the Mavic Air).

TOP 10 MUST VISIT PLACES IN ITALY FOR NATURE LOVERS
TOP 10 MUST VISIT PLACES IN ITALY FOR NATURE LOVERS
Whenever somebody talks about Italy, it’s always about Rome, Milan, Cinque Terre, Florence… The list can go on and on and it’s mostly cities included. However, Italy is a country that can fascinate its tourists with its natural landscape, just as much as with its vibrant city life.
A huge number of lakes, mountains, woodlands and beaches is something you can see all throughout Italy. But, no matter in which region you are, you will find a natural wonder that will charm you completely! We’ve picked our ten favorite – which one you would put on your bucket list?
1. Val di Mello
Val di Mello is the largest natural reserve located in Northern Italy’s region of Lombardy, near the border with Switzerland. The whole place is consisting of three groups of valleys – Val di Mello, Val Masino and Valle dei Bagni. The whole place is known for its amazing mountain sports conditions, especially climbing and hiking. Val di Mello got really famous within the past decade, when the Melloblocco bouldering festival started to take place here every May.
2. Val d’Orcia
Val d’Orcia, or also known as Valdorcia, is a place in the well – known Italian region of Tuscany. Green hills surround the picturesque towns and villages in the region, which is known for the high – quality wine production. From 2004, Val d’Orcia is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its breathtaking agricultural landscape and place in Italian’s art history.
3. Marmore Falls
The Marmore’s falls, or as they’re called Cascata delle Marmore in Italian, are a man – made waterfalls near Terni, the capital of the region of Umbria. The waterfalls are created 2.000 years ago by the ancient Romans and their source is the river Velino. Besides enjoying the view of the Marmore waterfalls, you can explore the area and enjoy the gorgeous nature surrounding you!
4. Monti Sibillini
Monti Sibillini is a national park located in the regions of Umbria and Marche. It was established in 1993 and ever since it represents one of the most beautiful parks in whole Italy. Monti Sibillini represent a mountain chain with wonderful green valleys and plenty of flowers during spring and summer.
5. Lago di Scanno
Lago di Scanno, or lake Scanno in English, is a wonderful lake located in the province of L’Aquila in the region of Abruzzo, Southern Italy. It is also the largest lake in the region with amazing emerald – colored crystal water. Right above the lake is the small town of Scanno, which is a charming place with cobble streets and medieval architecture.
6. Gran Paradiso National Park
This national park got its name after the same called mountain – Gran Paradiso, located in the Graian Alps, between the regions of Piedmont and Aosta Valley. It is also the oldest national park in Italy and it used to be a hunting ground for the King Vittorio Emmanuel II. There are mesmerizing woodlands and alpine grassland that will take your breath away, so make sure to include the Gran Paradiso national park on your bucket list.
7. Lake Maggiore
Here’s another lake on the list and this time it is one of the three big prealpine lakes – Lago di Maggiore. It is the second biggest Italian lake and it is located between the regions of Lombardy and Piedmont, as well the Swiss canton of Ticino. The lake, as well as the towns along its coastline are known for their flower gardens, where you can find rare and exotic plants. The climate is mild all year round, which makes this place so dreamy.
8. Val di Funes
The Dolomites are a complete must visit for every tourist, no matter what! We’re talking about a mountain range located in northeastern Italy that since 2009 it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can find small towns and villages in the mountains that will charm you absolutely with their alpine grasslands all around and the tall Dolomites in the background.
9. Giardini di Ninfa
Giardini di Ninfa or Gardens of Ninfa in English, are a lanscape garden in central Italy that will make you feel as if you stepped into a fairy tale – you will know right away why the New York Times declared these gardens as one of the most romantic in the world. They are built on the ruins of the medieval town of Ninfa and are declared as natural monument by the region of Lazio.
10. Costa degli Dei
The southern Tyrrhenian coast has the name Costa degli Dei or Coast of the Gods. The reason why this coastline has such name is simple – there are bays, capes, white sand beaches and crystal clear blue water of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It is really impressive, just take a look at the sunset! The Coast of the Gods is located in the province of Calabria in Southwestern Italy.
