Got a tattoo in Amsterdam

I got a tattoo while I was in Amsterdam for the second time. I got a tattoo of a tulip with a swirly stem – to me the tulip is a symbol of grace, beauty and strength.

How I did it: We got certified for scuba in Cyprus, then hired a guide dive in Moorea and Bora Bora. We went diving down in the reef and swam out in the ocean with black-tipped reef sharks. Later, in a captive situation, we swam with more of these and lemon sharks. The funniest part was that the divemaster brought along a large prepared fish carcass to lure the sharks. Fish parts attracted the sharks to come within 3 feet of us! Read how I did it…

We swam with dolphins on Moorea in Tahiti. It would have been cooler in the wild, but it was still amazing!
