Congrats to on being recognized as the #2 pizzeria in the world by ! There is definitely an argument to be made that you should be #1! Eating at Da Michele is imperative if you’re visiting Naples. Here you can enjoy some of the best pizza in the world (cooked in about 60-90 seconds) for €5 at a table shared with strangers while enjoying traditional live music. It’s heaven on Earth for pizza junkies!

Hey everyone! Over the 8 years in which Alex and I have been sharing our travel tips on Couple's Coordinates and other blogs like The Blonde Abroad, The Planet D, and Skyscanner, it has become incredibly evident that we are naturally drawn to helping people plan experiences in Italy. Having twice lived in Florence, Italy is my second home and I fall more in love with this country every year when I return.

Every year it seems like more and more people reach out directly asking for help in planning trips to Italy. I get great fulfillment (and travel envy) from this work, so I've decided to launch a travel advisory firm/travel agency with the goal of helping people plan authentic luxury experiences in Italy.

Thank you all for your support of the blog over almost a decade! If you've enjoyed our travel tips and blogs over the years or if we have helped you plan a trip to Italy, I'd greatly appreciate your support in spreading the word about how we can help others curate a once in a lifetime experience in Italy.

Buon viaggio!
Michael

It’s 75 and sunny here in San Diego right now! So I’m sitting on my balcony in a bikini (while Leila naps) pretending I’m back on this rooftop in Positano 💭☀️🇮🇹 a mom can dream right?! 😉

My soulmates ❤️

I still can’t believe that this trip actually happened. On my worst days when I was so sick in bed, all I would dream about was being back here. I knew if I made it here my body and soul would feel so at peace, and I was right! I hadn’t felt that good in over a year. I never imagined how special it would be having Leila there with us though. It was beyond! And we may have already planned two trips back next year 😂❤️ 🇮🇹
