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.
NETHERLANDS, Amsterdam
Wednesday November 1, 2006
I moved from the Hotel Verdi to the Ship Avanti. Bunk beds on the ship located in the canals but much closer to downtown and the canals. I walked around the Red Light District later that night. You must really be careful taking pictures in the Red Light District because plain clothes policemen will appear from nowhere if you try to take pictures of the ladies in the windows. I also stopped in a "cafe" as a curiosity but did not partake since that is just not my thing.
ITALY, Lake Como
Friday October 27, 2006
Today I leave Switzerland. I went for 3 days and stayed 9. It was incredible. I take the train today to Milan and switch trains to go to Como, Italy, and take a cruise on Lake Como on Saturday. Lake Como is the playground of the rich and George Clooney and Brad Pitt have homes there. The cruise will take about 6 hours.

ITALY, San Gimignano and Tuscany
September 26-27, 2006I caught the train from Riomaggiore to Siena and then caught a bus to San Gimignano for the 2 day walk through Tuscany. San Gimignanno has 14 medieval towers dating back to the 12th century. At one time there were 70 towers.No one seemed to know a walking route so the next morning I started walking along the highway on my way through the beautiful Tuscan landscape. Beautiful rolling hills, grape vines and olive trees decorate the countryside. I finished the 19 kilometer walk in one day rather than two.
SWITZERLAND, Skydiving from a Helicopter
Thursday October 26, 2007
I left at 9 am to go skydiving from a helicopter. The jumpmaster told us that there were only 3 places in the world you could jump from a helicopter, Australia, Hawaii and Interlaken, Switzerland. 2 days ago I went skydiving out of a plane but the opportunity to jump from a helicopter was too great to pass on. Unfortunately I don't have any pictures from the jump but I did buy a video of my jump which is pretty wild. To jump from 12,000 feet right inside of the Jungfrau, Monch and Eiger mountains was quite an adrenaline jump. At one point we were only about 10 feet from a waterfall.
