JC and I have never had an issue eating well in Italy, whether on tortelloni con crema in Bologna, or bacio gelato in Milano, we cannot get enough of all the mouth watering delicacies the country has to offer, as well as the rituals observed around the Italian’s favorite pastime: eating and drinking.

JC and I have definitely enjoyed some of our more adventure-packed trips as of late (e.g. hiking Machu Pichu, el Caminito del Rey in Málaga), so when traveling to Catania in March, we knew we had to make a trip to the still active volcano, Mount Etna. Read below to learn more about our tour […]
