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.

PORTUGAL, Azores

 April 2016

I spent a week on Sao Miguel, the biggest island in the Portuguese archipelago.  I stayed in the capital of Ponta Delgado.  One day I went whale watching and another day toured the island . The island tour highlight was the Parque National de Sao Miguel which has twin crater lakes,  one blue and the other green. There is a walking trail around the crater rim.

UNITED STATES, ALASKA, Aurora Borealis, Fairbanks, Northern Lights

March 2016

I have an aurora excursion for Chena Hot Springs ($175) booked for Saturday but forecast looks like there is little opportunity then with cloudy and snow forecast.

Scrambling , today I finally found 1 company not completely booked tonight for $110. Forecast is clear with high aurora activity expected. Crossing my fingers. Leave at 10 pm and return at 2 am.

Rest of week does not look good to see the lights unfortunately.
