Hi, I’m Rocky Trifari.

Welcome to The Rocky Safari!

My Travel Map  Read The Blog

Safari means journey in the Swahili language.

I’ve been blogging for 5 years and counting. The Rocky Safari is where I share stories about my travels from around the world while keeping track of all the strange things that happen along the way! I may be an introvert but I love stepping outside of my comfort zone. From being stranded outside of the White House all alone at age 15 to getting lost inside of China’s Forbidden City in 2015, I have found myself in more unusual situations over the years than I’d care to admit. Now, time to explore! 😀 Be sure to also check out:
