About Me

NOMADIC LIFESTYLE, EARTH, United States
After getting my first passport in 2006 and traveling to climb Kilimanjaro in Tanzania my life changed. I began the process of getting rid of all my possessions and traveling the world. Traveling to over 125 countries and all 7 continents, hostels have been my home. This "new life" has taught me what is important and it was NOT accumulating money or possessions. Traveling is the best education. I hope my blog will encourage others to travel. My World Tattoo was a way for me to express my PASSION FOR TRAVEL.

SPAIN, Barcelona

 April 29-May 2, 2022

After a 2 hour flight from Prague I landed in beautiful Barcelona. I will spend 3 nights revisiting before continuing to Lisbon.

















SPAIN, Barcelona, Temple of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

July 20, 2019

Finally made it. Have been in Barcelona 5-6 times but thought Tibidado Mountain was too difficult to get to. Metro, 15 minute walk and funicular was all it took.











SPAIN, Barcelona, Las Ramblas

September 12, 2006

This morning I walked down Las Ramblas to the port. Street performers, sidewalk cafes, markets and flower and bird shops line this beautiful pedestrian street. At the very end of Las Ramblas is the iconic statue of Christopher Columbus next to the port. After watching the sailboats at the port, I continued walking to the beautiful beaches located in Barcelona. Later that evening I went to a sidewalk cafe for my 1st experience with Paella,  similar to Louisiana Jambalaya,  and ordered Sangria. As soon as I ordered it began to storm. I ran inside to eat and drink and 5 hours later the torrential downpour stopped. It was now 12:30 am but as luck would have it, the Tapas Bars were in full swing.

SPAIN, Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia, Port

September 13, 2006

I took the overnight train from Madrid to Barcelona. Barcelona is truly beautiful especially Los Ramblas and the port. La Sagrada Familia is one of the most famous sites in the city. The enormous incomplete, roofless mastepiece of the eccentric genius Antonio Gaudi. He was run over by a tram in 1926 before he could complete his most bizarre, controversial creation. The construction is still ongoing.
