My Travel Story

by: Michelle Lane Start Date: Jan 6, 2026 - End Date: Jan 5, 2027

Let me introduce myself.  I'm 54 and not a sob story but my mission is to be peace with myself.  My grandfather was German who married my French grandmother.  Their relationship was turbulent.  Through physical abuse she died of a brain injury.  I want to investigate them both. I want yo see their union and what led to the endings.  My reason for visiting Italy, my twin sister visited Florence.and was a nanny for 2 yrs.    1 year after she left she died in Australia in Darwin.  She raved about the culture and the peace in Florence and my first hope is that I will visit the places she did.   I want to follow her footsteps  in Australia in 1999 my lovely sister died in an accident travelling to Darwin. Along with 2 Irish girls who lost their lives.   A monument was erected by one of the families which I have never seen.  My hope is that I can finally lay flowers for all those who lost their lives.  My final stop would be New York.  My husband and I . It was our first holiday after bringing up 2 children who had over 20 operations due to disabilities and this city shone light on us both.  It reminded us that love can concur all and that through all of the rubbish in life , family is the most important.  

I named this Michelle Valentin as I'm pretty lost as she was and I'm watching the ocean and he sky pass by and wanting to do my journey and tell my story.  I'll link all videos of my journey because t if no funding I would travel alone.  I'm seeking resolution. Peace of mind and direction.
