A tourist stumbled upon his exact phone background photo in Italy

Langkofel, Dolomites, Italy

Traveling is an adventure: you never know what you'll discover.

For one man, it was his screen saver.

Toruist with dolomites screensaverJarrod Robertson, an English and music teacher from Birmingham, Alabama, was traveling to Santa Cristina, Italy, with his family.

He and his mother spontaneously took a ski lift up a mountain for a little walk, when he suddenly came face to face with an oddly familiar sight: the very stock image background he had been using on his phone for the last two years.

"I knew immediately it was my phone background and was freaking out!" he said. Having wanted to visit Italy since the age of 15, he had came across a photo of the mountain range and made it his background.

Of course, he had to snap a meta memento — a picture of his screensaver in front of the original, which he now knows is Langkofel in the Dolomites.

He found the exact spot from which the photo must've been shot, and even managed to get some of the same purple flowers in the frame.

Life can really be stranger than fiction.
