The document summarizes a trip to Catania, Italy as part of an Erasmus+ exchange program. The author's first impressions were that Catania was a beautiful city with nice, open people and amazing food, along with warm weather, big houses, and a fondness for nutella. Meals with host families included lots of pasta and ice cream or granita for dessert. The best parts of the trip were the incredible food, friendly people, unique sights like Mount Etna and historical places not found in Finland, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, shopping, and making new friends.
