TWO POINTS ON THE MAP
THE TRAVELS OF MATTEO AND IVAN
Matteo and Ivan, lovers of travel, nature and fathers of a large four-legged family, today talk about themselves and tell us about their blog Two dots on the map !
Hi Matteo and Ivan, welcome to Easy Travel Hosting! Passion for travel, animals, nature and photography. Can you tell us about these passions you have in common and how they came together to create your blog?
Hi guys from Easy Travel Hosting! First of all we want to thank you for giving us the opportunity to tell us through this wonderful interview, we are very pleased to say something about us and our blog.
We are Ivan and Matteo, we are a couple and we are passionate about travel. We believe that traveling is exponential to inner wealth, something we are really fond of.
We met in 2019 and we remember that one of the first topics we discussed was travel, think that we were competing to see who had traveled the most and who had visited the most places. This challenge opened the doors of our relationship and since then we have never left each other for a moment.
In addition to traveling and discovering unusual places, we love animals and nature dispassionately, we are fathers of 4 dogs, they are our puppies and we often take them on trips with us, in fact in some posts on our social profiles you can get to know our entire family. You should know that we live in a small but beautiful house, it is our love nest in which we are surrounded by a real forest of plants. We are two true lovers of the floral world and consider ourselves experts in the care and maintenance of flora.
The addition of the themes of travel, nature and animals adds up to three key points of our couple and our life; which is why we decided to mix them and keep them as central themes of our travel blog.
Taking our first steps in the world of aspiring travel bloggers we discovered another beautiful passion that is still under construction today: photography, storytelling and videomaking.
Another focal point of our blog is contact with nature, a search for the outdoors that arises from the post-pandemic period in which we have all experienced moments of isolation. This is why many of our trips and blog articles focus on places in contact with the outside, with nature, with the plant and animal world.
On your blog there are mainly Italian destinations and destinations. What do you like most and what drives you to travel to our country?
Yes, we admit it, we are totally in love with our country, beautiful Italy. A country rich in history, culture, art, landscapes ranging from the sea to the mountains, architecture, colonial influences, enchanting lakes and magnificent villages.
What else can we add? Italy is our homeland, our home and it is right to promote it so that other countrymen who are used to traveling abroad understand how fabulous they can find in our country. This remains one of our main missions but this does not detract from the other states and continents that we have not yet had the opportunity to visit together but which we still have on the list for the near future.
Let us dream, what is your dream destination and why?
It's not easy to choose one among the many... but we'll try!
Kenya is certainly one of those destinations that we would like to see once in our lifetime. We believe that Africa is an extremely rich and wonderful continent. The experience of being in close contact with wild animals and local African populations would give us an experience so intense that it would never be forgotten.
The idea for this tour of our dreams will hopefully accompany us to discover the Masai Mara nature reserve, among elephants and herds of wildebeest, housed in stilt houses overlooking the Kenyan sunset, discovering the traditions of the local populations and ending up immersing ourselves in the crystal clear waters of the Indian Ocean.
How much does love for nature influence the choice of your itineraries?
Love for nature is almost a constant in the choice of our itineraries.
Who among us doesn't need a break from the hectic everyday life after all? We do! We are two full-time workers in the horeca world and our jobs are constantly in contact with other people. Which is why as soon as it is possible for us to escape from our reality we do so and choose quiet places, outside of the high season to seek that silence and that feeling of freedom that we can only perceive by getting close to nature.
Among our latest visited destinations you can read articles from the blog about breathtaking views and unusual places of Lake Garda (VR) but also Trentino lakes (Lake Braies, Lake Misurina), the monumental garden of Valsanzibio in Padua and finally enchanted places in splendid Sicily from Agrigento to the Aeolian Islands. All in the name of nature and open spaces!
As you know, Easy Travel Hosting uses renewable and eco-sustainable energy to power its servers. Furthermore, a tree is planted for each new hosting, actively helping reforestation and CO2 absorption. What do you think of this project and in general, do you think it is important to seek a more sustainable lifestyle?
The earth is our home, the topic of eco-sustainability is more relevant now than ever. Humanity is waking up and we are finally all starting to have the perception that this planet is slowly dying.
We absolutely must take action, those who don't want to understand this don't realize the importance that the environmental impact has on all of us, without exception.
We, Ivan and Matteo, believe that any initiative to improve this condition of our globe is very important. Whether it is through separate waste collection, the reduced consumption of pollutants or the use of renewable energy, it brings our greatest respect. Each of us must do our part and the Easy Travel Hosting team undoubtedly does theirs.
We are also really amazed by the wonderful idea that the Easy Travel Hosting team had to redevelop the forests and we are honored to be able to do our small part.
Thanks to the whole team!
