I'm a retired international civil servant from Italy who has traveled extensively for many years. I picked up my first "do not disturb" sign while on a business trip to Pakistan nearly 20 years ago. One sign led to another and it soon became an addicting hobby. Each sign could tell a story – they are memories of fascinating travel destinations.

This amazing collection is now dispalyed on Flickr. If you are a collector I would be pleased to hear from you. If you have any signs that you would like to exchange or donate please let me know. Finally, if you note any mistakes or if you can provide any additional information on any of the pictures please get in touch. Thanks.
