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).
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).

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
