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.

FRANCE, Paris

 April 9-15, 2022 (5) nights

Alexandria to Atlanta, then a 10 pm direct 8.5 hour flight to Paris to begin my 2 month European adventure. While April in Paris has showers more often than not, I was fortunate to have sunny warm days. My hostel, Le Village,  is located only 2 blocks from Sacre Coeur Basilica.  This was my 4th time here. The 2nd day I decided to walk and revisit most of the main sites. I walked to the Louvre, Tulleries Gardens, down the Seine River , to the Eiffel Tower and finally to the Arc de Triomphe.  By the time I arrived back at the hostel 4 hours later I had walked 26,456 steps. I was sore for days. The rest of my trip was spent people watching in Montmarte.

FRANCE, Avignon, lavender fields

July 16, 2019

Reason I came to AVIGNON, FRANCE was to see the Lavender fields. Did a 1/2 day tour to Sault to visit the Lavender fields and was not disappointed. Love the smell. Found out there are Lavender fields and Lavindin Fields (a hybrid used for massage oils and insect repellent). Actually Lavindin in the more purple in color.
