Yvonne Nelson celebrated her 30th birthday on Thursday in a different style.

She went hanging out at the St. Mark’s Square in Venice where some of Italy’s major sights are located.

She was also at the St. Mark’s Basilica, one of the oldest and historic churches in Italy and the world, located at the square to reflect on her life.

The “If Tomorrow Never Comes” actress spent some time taking photos with amazing pigeons at the square.

“Italy has so much history when it comes to the Bible so it was the perfect destination,” Yvonne explained her choice of location to celebrate her birthday this year on Friday.

Usually, she hangs out with her friends at the beach in her home country, Ghana. But this time she was in Italy.

Also on her birthday the actress had her Instagram social media account verified and became the first Ghanaian actress to have her Instagram verified.
