I’m Davide, born in ’79, husband to Loredana and father to Federico<\/strong>, and my passion for theme parks started a long time ago.<\/p>\n

I was 6 years old<\/strong> when I first walked through the gates of Gardaland<\/strong>. Since that day, parks have always been part of my vacations\u2014so much so that in 2007, for our honeymoon, we spent 20 days in Florida, including a week in Orlando<\/strong>, the theme park capital of the world.<\/p>\n

Even after Federico was born, we continued to visit theme parks across Europe and beyond. But everything changed after an accident<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

On August 25, 2012, a serious motorcycle accident left me bedridden for 200 days<\/strong>. The only way to mentally escape that hospital room was by watching early American theme park vloggers on YouTube<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was in that hospital room, during one of those endless days watching videos, that I promised myself: if I could walk again, I would share my passion online.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, in January 2017, during one of my family trips to Orlando, I turned the camera around and started sharing my days in the parks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

p>The first videos were met with great appreciation, so I decided to start a blog where I could put my theme park tips in writing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The support from those watching my videos and reading my posts kept growing, and I eventually organized my first meetup at Movieland in the summer of 2019<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That day, I fell in love with the atmosphere created between strangers united by a shared passion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once back home, I decided to give more people the opportunity to experience the places I showcased in my videos\u2014and more importantly, to feel that special connection that arises when you’re surrounded by fellow enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

Since then, more than 600 people have joined my meetups and group trips<\/strong>\u2014people I don\u2019t call clients or followers, but friends<\/strong>, friends with whom I\u2019ve shared emotions I\u2019ll never forget.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
