Beautiful Your pictures are amazing! I'm looking forward to my trip to Europe. It looks so wonderful. I'm glad that you are getting to enjoy such a wonderful place in the world. All the diversities and cultures. I envy you greatly.

e getting plenty of exercise. I hope the weather doesn turn as quickly as it has here! Looking forward to more stories and pictures. Love you!
Bev... I am having the time of my life and you are absolutely correct in saying that I have experienced quite a diversity in my travels thus far. I'll let you know what I think of Venice and the area around it. I will be Couchsurfing in Padua (30 minutes west of Venice) with a teacher. It should be a great experience to see the way Italians live and go about day to day life. Also, it will save me money since I won't be needing a hostel! Thanks for following along!
Back in the day Glad you are getting such a rich diversity in your travel. Napoli was settled by the Greeks and, I believe, the Mafia originated there or at least was very strong there for many years. It is a very poor place now, as you and I saw when there. I was surprised by all the graffiti everywhere in Italy, especially on the trains. It is some very talented artwork. Do you agree? Did you have some Gypsies on the trains playing music for money? I believe the only saving grace for Napoli is the Pompeii Museum which houses valuable artifacts from the ruins.
Did you find GIANT lemons in Sorrento? I loved that place. It was just carefree I thought. You are having a great experience. Keep it up and kudos for making so many personal connections!! I didn't get to Venice so am excited to hear about your experience there.
And your off..... Shelby I'm glad to see that you are on your way to see the world. We all hope you have a great time and meet tons of great people. I look forward to reading about all of your adventures. Have fun and be safe

hey there yes im actually in the middle of selling most of my stuff on ebay as we speak lol, i really cant wait..my first stop will be isla mujeres, mexico and i will be relaxing on the beach for the first couple weeks! how about you?
I just needed to get away and the destination just so happened to be the East Coast! I love D.C., I've been there numerous times! Are you counting down until your trip? Where is your first stop?
cool Hey Shelby....ahhhh you went to my part of town( i'm from D.C.) looks like you are getting your adventures going early!! hope you had a good time!! take care
You want a thrill? Add cliff-dive to your list. I see that you have skydive and bungee jump on there. I've done all three, and there's an inverse relationship of cost to amount of thrill. By all means jump out of a plane with a parachute strapped to your back and off a ledge with tethers attached to your legs. But when you find the chance, make sure you jump off a cliff over 50 ft high with nothing attached and then you'll know what it's like to feel your heart truly skip a beat. ;)
I have an ever-growing list of places I want to explore. I have my dream job of teaching and I can confidently say I enjoy every second of it! I have quite the collection of tattoos, love to read a good book with a hot cup of coffee or tea in hand. Music is a constant in my life and I wear red lipstick on most occasions. I've been told I'm funny; I'm just being me. Thanks for following my journey!
