Learning the ropes of mountain life in the Italian Alps, one adventure at a time.

Hi! We're Daysi and David, a Florida-and-Czech duo who traded corporate jobs for a life in Trentino.

Here, you’ll find hikes and climbs, Dolomites travel guides, cycling routes, rifugi recommendations, and all things alpinism — plus cozy local spots worth detouring for. We also share stories from our adventures across Italy and Europe, from stunning summits to seaside escapes.

Letters from Trentino

Occasional notes about the places we've explored, what we're learning, and the meals that made the day worth it.

Do you live in the Dolomites, have a trip to Trentino in mind, or dream of moving here? We'd love to hear your story, tips, or questions. It does not have to be exclusively about carbs and climbing.
