About us:
In March 2017, Rick and Andrea (confessed Travel Addicts) started a Facebook Group called Travel Addicts as a way to share their travel photos and videos not just with their own respective friend’s lists โ but with the world. Part of the reason was for bragging rights (I mean, thatโs kind of the point of sharing photos, right?), but also to help answer questions to others about the destinations they have visited.
After inviting some of our friends and family, it grew and grew โ and as of June 2019, the group has grown to over 200,000 members! One reason for our success, we believe, is that we have done our best to ensure only high-quality photos and videos get shared, all while limiting the use of commercial content.

We went to Italy in late March / early April. The trade off of cooler, wetter weather for lower crowds was worth it. However, we were in Rome for Easter weekend (accidentally, we didnโt realize ahead of time) and that caused a few issues. The day we planned to go to the colosseum, some guy had booked it for the entire day. We asked who could get away with that and were told it was โIl Papa.โ Apparently heโs some sort of big shot.
We went in early Dec and there were no crowds…The temp was about 60 in Rome. We left Italy and went to Venice.. It was about 45, but the crowds were super small.
