FUN FACT: right b4 she became a contestant on'Survivor' a Panama:Exile Island contestant used to live in her van in Venice. (Come back and check out the blog to find out who it is.) Currently there are four (4!) ex-Survivor contestants, including current contestant and honorary Venicedude bartender Ozzy Lusth, living in Venice. It's no secret that all kinds of worldy (and other-worldly!) adventurous spirits roam the streets of Venice!

ANYBODY CAN BE A VENICEDUDE OR VENICEDUDE-ETTE so don't be afraid to be amazed the next time you see an odd duck walking along the Strand or on the untamed streets of Venice - although, remember, fear IS a preservation instinct!
