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.

ITALY, Rome

 June 16-19, 2021

After 2 hour train from Florence I arrived in Rome.  After checking in at 3 pm and getting situated I left the hostel for MY favorite walking tour. I went to the Colisseum, Piazza Novona,  Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. Once again,  I could not believe there were almost no tourists. The next 2 days I relaxed planned my Amalfi Coast trip which will last 10 days until I fly to Santorini to meet MY GROUP. 

























ITALY, Sistine Chapel in Vatican Museum, Rome

October 13, 2012

Did not expect to be able to take pictures in the Sistine Chapel as it is forbidden but everyone else was taking them so I did. Almost had my camera taken in 2006 but had an opportunity to take a few pictures and I took it.







ITALY, Vatican Museum

October 13, 2012

Originally had planned on not going back to Vatican Museum and the Sistine Chapel but only St. Peter's Basilica but plans change. It was a rainy day and thought the museums would be a great place to spend the afternoon. A subway there and 10 minute walk and shorter line than expected. Thank you rain. Really surprised when I got to the Sistine Chapel and saw several people taking pictures. It is taboo. Not due to damage to the paintings but because, Sony,  a Japanese company that paid millions for the restoration owns the property rights and they normally enforce a no photo policy. If they were trying to stop people from taking pictures I was just in the right spot. Took a few pictures in 2006 which were hurried and fuzzy and almost lost my camera to the photo police.
