Hi, I’m Mountain. I design and lead small group Catholic Pilgrimages throughout
Europe and the Holy Land.

I spent a decade working in the music industry. After a night out talking travel
with Robert Smith of The Cure, I quit my job at a major record label, bought a
one-way ticket to Rome, and started The Catholic Traveler.

I’m the reason Chick-fil-a says “my pleasure” – true story.

Connect with me on Instagram and Substack.

Is Taylor Swift a satanic witch who mocks God? No. Here’s why.

DAY TOURS OF CATHOLIC ROME

I offer private Day Tours of Catholic Rome. I focus on the churches of Rome and
consider these day pilgrimages with time for confession, prayer, and sometimes
Holy Mass.

 * The Life of Christ
 * The Pilgrim Churches of Rome
 * Saints, Apostles, and an Apparition

I can also customize itineraries to focus on different themes.


CITY GUIDES

I’ve written several free travel guides, which I update constantly, including…

 * The Catholic Traveler’s Guide to Rome
 * The Catholic Traveler’s Guide to Assisi
 * Guide to Packing for Europe and the Holy Land


BLOGS, VLOGS, AND PODCASTS

Nearly two decades of blogging about Catholic travel tips and destinations can
be found here.

I occasionally share walking video tours around Rome on YouTube.

There was a podcast and there may be again someday.

But most of my creative travel content goes to Instagram. Photos, video tours,
and Tipsy Tuesday.


IN THE MEDIA

I am often interviewed about the Vatican, life in Rome, and all things travel.

Recently: NBC Nightly News, NBC Today Show, ABC World News Tonight, BBC World
News, EWTN.

Most people remember when my goddaughter stole the pope’s “hat.”

Some may remember when I helped Pete get a ride in the Pope-mobile.

And who can forget the blackout at the Vatican when the US SWAT Team landed a
helicopter in the middle of Saint Peter’s Square, there was a gunfight with the
Swiss Guard, then Pope Francis was arrested and replaced with a hologram.
