On a recent vacation in Italy, I enjoyed amazing sights and experiences, ranging from Michelangelo’s The David and the once-buried-now-excavated city of Pompeii to The Pantheon. I also indulged in culinary delights, including my first taste of fresh, perfect mozzarella, Chianti wine as it’s meant to be enjoyed and—though I don’t have a sweet tooth—cannoli.

I could go on about my cultural endeavors for hours—did I mention how breathtaking Capri is?—but the one thing I can’t stop thinking about is the jaw-dropping experience of driving in Italy. It’s quite unlike any other travel experience I’ve had.
