In a time when practically everything is virtual, it makes the tangible sentimental things like my travel journal have more meaning. I thought it would be fun to make you laugh with a look into my diary during a milestone moment of my life.

When you visit the land of Barolo in Piemonte, red wines, prized white truffles and hazelnuts (home to Nutella) might come to mind. What you wouldn't expect to find though is gourmet snails!
