Vicki Ravlich-Horan – Tour Host
The owner and editor of Nourish Magazine, Vicki has two passions – food and travel. So, wherever she can combine the two she does. Having studied Classical studies (Greek and Roman history) at university the Mediterranean was high on Vicki’s must visit list as a backpacker. Much to Rosario’s dismay she never made it to Sicily! But great things take time and not only did she spend over three amazing weeks there in 2023 she bought with her a bunch of Kiwi travellers, and she can’t wait to go back in 2024.
“Food has a great way of telling a story” says Vicki “and when you travel and eat like the locals you discover more than a new taste, you learn about the history and culture and gain a wider understanding of where you are standing. Sicily is a place that excites me because of the melding of the many cultures that have played a part in its long history and on this tour we will truly taste this.”
