Hi, I’m Mountain Butorac. I design, organize, and lead pilgrimages across Europe and the Holy Land for The Catholic Traveler, a company I founded in 2004.
Based in Rome, I share my passion for the Catholic faith and travel here through writing.
A night out Robert Smith of The Cure led me to start The Catholic Traveler. I’m the reason Chick-fil-a says “my pleasure.” Yes, my name really is Mountain.
You may also want to follow my other creative outlets for photography and videos.

I’m Mountain, an American in Rome. I organize and lead pilgrimages across Europe / Holy Land for The Catholic Traveler, a company I founded in 2004, after a night out with Robert Smith of The Cure. I’m the reason Chick-fil-a says “my pleasure.”
