Hi, I’m Lisa – Italy travel blogger and the voice behind JoyDellaVita
Hi! I’m Lisa, an Italy travel blogger, writer and content creator in my early thirties. I love to explore new places, cultures and tastes. For a long time I travelled mostly solo – today I explore Italy and Europe with my family as well, so JoyDellaVita covers both solo travel and family travel. My home base and home office are in southern Germany, where I work on new blog posts and plan upcoming trips.

What does “JoyDellaVita” mean?
The name is inspired by the Italian language, mixed with English. “Joy della vita” means “joy of life” – and that is what this blog is all about: the joy of life when travelling. It is also about protecting our environment by supporting climate-friendly travel options, such as taking trains instead of planes, and about enhancing your personal life at home.
The story of JoyDellaVita
I founded the JoyDellaVita travel blog in May 2015 as an English-language platform next to my German lifestyle blog Hyyperlic. I entered the blogging world in late 2010 and have been a YouTube creator since 2009. You might also know me as “Germany’s most famous car-blogger” (a quote from German Auto Bild, issue 11/2015) from my former car blog TheCarAddict, which is still online. Today I also write the German regional blog AdriBlueNova.
