WE LOVE ADVENTURE!
Hi there! We’re Isabella and Pietro. Married with 3 kids, we live on the lovely Mediterranean Island of Malta.
We have curious minds and itchy feet so we’re often on the road on our motorcycle or otherwise, any chance we get.
With over 10 years of globetrotting across more than 20 countries, we decided to start this blog to share our experiences and hopefully inspire you to discover more of the world.
Meet the Pilot
Ciao, Sono Pietro!
That translates from Italian to “I’m Pietro” in English. That obviously makes me Italian, from Sicily. Being Sicilian, I love great food, the sea, and being with family. I’m an engineer who got into bikes in my 20s, participating in several local motocross competitions and winning too! So motorcycles have always been a big part of my life.
When on the road, I’m in charge of deciding the routes (the narrower and more mountainous, the better!), logging logistics, and keeping track of costs. The motorcycle is, of course, my responsibility too. I’m a devoted father, movie enthusiast, and DIY lover when we’re not traveling.
Meet the passenger
E kaabo! Orukọ mi ni Isabella
That translates from Yoruba to “Welcome everyone! My name is Isabella”. That makes me Nigerian Yoruba is one of the many languages we speak). Besides travelling, I love food, family, and fashion (my very own triple F mantra!).
Unlike Pietro, organizing isn’t my forte. However, I enjoy carrying out research writing. Consequently, I’m the official “researcher” for the places we visit, including accommodation and activities. I also take zillions of photos while at it!
We are quite new to the blogging world (excitingly so!) and we would appreciate building relationships with our readers.
Let us know what you think of our blog, what you would like to see more of, and any questions your curious minds might have.
Meanwhile, let’s get to know each other! Find out more about our vision for Theridingzebra on our About Us page. And to know what we’re up to currently, connect with us on our social media pages. We look forward to getting to know you more.
