Speaker for Jan. 24, 2011

For Angela Nickerson, travel has always been a part of her life.  However, travel writing wasn't her dream - being a tap dancing nurse was!  From an early age, Angela went on a cruise, visited Finland and the Soviet Union, and was influenced by the travel adventures of her grandparents.

Even after college, her love for travel grew but she became a teacher.  As doors opened, her travels around the world inspired her to write. 

In her thirties Angela translated that passion for history and travel into a column of local biographical profiles as well as her first book, A Journey into Michelangelo’s Rome.  Angela’s second book, Angels & Demons’ Rome, was published in 2008. 

Now, she is sharing her love of Italy, travel, and art while looking to make a difference in the world as well.
