About
Love your italy
Welcome! We’re Kristine and Michal, a Latvian-Slovakian couple who will help you explore Northern Italy.
Mission
Our mission is to help you plan your dream trip
Whether you want to do by yourself or would like us to plan your trip, let’s get it going!
Who we are
We love italy
We’re Michal and Kristine – the hearts behind Love Your Italy. Our story is woven with mountain trails, Mediterranean sunshine, little family adventures, and a love affair with Italy that began years ago and only grows stronger each season.
We’re not just travel writers – we’re planners, wanderers, and your advocates for an incredible Italian adventure. Our blog and services are built on real experiences, thought-out recommendations, and an understanding that no two trips are the same. We believe travel is unique – and should be joyful, stress-free, and full of memories that last a lifetime.
From Dreamers to Dolomites Experts
After moving to Northern Italy and calling the charming village of Sarnico by Lake Iseo our home for over a year, we became obsessed with discovering every corner of Italy, and especially the Northern Italy. We explored as weekend warriors – balancing work, studies, and a relentless curiosity – with each journey teaching us what matters most: making every trip memorable, manageable, and meaningful.
We know what it’s like to squeeze a life-changing trip or family vacation into just a few precious days. That’s why our itineraries aren’t just templates – they’re adventures built on years of experience travelling and planning our own trips.
We embrace the messy, exhilarating parts of planning and show you all the little details that make a trip unforgettable. And if you’re dreaming of the Dolomites but feel lost in the planning maze – don’t worry, you’re in the right place. We’ve been there, too.
Why Love Your Italy?
Our mission is simple: Help you discover what you’ll love most about Italy. Whether it’s the untamed peaks of the Dolomites, the gentle roll of a Tuscan vineyard, or the sweet hush of an evening by the sea – Italy has something for everyone, and we want to help you find your version of “la dolce vita.”
We offer:
- A welcoming community – join our Facebook group to connect and get answers from passionate travelers
- Firsthand, personal advice on where to go, what to do, and how to get around
- Customized itineraries and trip consultations, shaped by your interests, style, and budget
- Detailed guides, tips, and inspiration for hiking, sightseeing, relaxing, or indulging in Italy’s best food and culture
- Itineraries that are ethical, respect the locals, and aim to lower overtourism.
Fun fact about us: Michal likes really active vacations – he could do things from sunrise to sunset; I like balanced ones – some activity, for sure, but also relaxing; and Emma could spend the whole day in the pool without venturing out once. So, we have first-hand experience in how to balance different likes and needs!
how we can help you
You love the idea of exploring the Dolomites. You’ve saved the pins, watched the videos, and you’re genuinely excited. But then the planning starts, and suddenly you’re:
- Comparing 200 hotel reviews and still unsure which one is actually good
- Reading contradicting advice on hiking routes (“This is easy!” vs. “Bring climbing gear”)
- Trying to fit a 10-day wishlist into 5 days and failing
- Building an itinerary that looks amazing on paper but requires 4 hours of driving between meals
- Worried you’re wasting money, time, or missing the “must-see” spots
- Generally playing the Google Search Tab Gymnastics
We’ve been there. We’ve also been there living in Italy, testing every recommendation we give, and learning what actually works in real life.
That’s why Love Your Italy exists: to turn your vague excitement into a realistic, well-paced plan that feels joyful – not like a second job.
