I Quit And Moved To Rome: Mountain Butorac aka Catholic Traveler

Colm Flynn Podcast

Mountain Butorac was working in IT in Atlanta, Georgia, but wasn't passionate about his job. Growing in his faith, he knew he wanted to do something connected with his Catholicism but wasn't sure what. That was until one day when he took a trip to Italy and fell in love! He fell in love with the ancient architecture and history, delicious pasta and pizza, and the slower pace of life. When he returned to the USA he quit his job, started a tour company, and eventually moved his family to Italy.
Today, Mountain runs a successful tour group called 'The Catholic Traveller' where he brings pilgrims and tourists around Italy's most iconic spots, and further afield to places like Ireland, France, Poland and the Holy Land. He's also built up a large following on social media, giving his fans a unique insight into what life is like for an American living in Rome.
In this interview, Mountain tells Colm about what it was like growing up in the music industry in Atlanta, and how he changed from one job to another before eventually having the courage to quit and follow his heart. He also talks about the challenges of running a tour company and the things that can go wrong, but ultimately how he wouldn't change it for anything else.
In this episode of the Colm Flynn Podcast the guest is 'The Catholic Traveler', Mountain Butorac.
