Traveling Through with David Prior · Thursday, August 27, 2026
JJ Martin expresses her trust in Mount Etna, Sicily, describing it as an extraordinary experience, even hiking it while it was erupting. She contrasts Sicily's less groomed appearance with other parts of Italy but finds its raw energy powerful. Her next anticipated travel destination for transcendental experiences is Peru.
“The thing about ETNA and Sicily in general is that there's a lot of refreff There's a lot of rundown buildings. It's not magically groomed and glorious like the rest of many parts of Italy, like Tuscany. What you'll find, but you just have to be patients, a little bit like Pulia.”
“Edna is an extraordinary experience. I've got an incredible guide named Mirto that's taken me up to the top. I've hiked three times to the top, two times during which it was erupting, and you can go up there when it's erupting. It's it's extraordinary. It's like across the street you will see lava popping up. It's nuts.”
“I feel like it's going to be Peru. And I mean that that's literally just like the stomach answer. I don't really even have an uh. You know, I'd been to Brazil and spend time in the jungle. We're going to open probably some stores in Brazil. But in terms of my transcendental travel, what I'm really feeling is Peru.”
