One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing to the Everest Base Camp in Nepal

Teaching in a buddhist monastery

Diving with giant mantas

Hitch-hikikng in Vietnam. Non-existent. But somewhat plausible:)

Also the first time hitch-hiking experience was pretty memorable: at night, in the thunderstorm, on some lost Italian road going to the Alps, right under the sign "No Autostop" and lol we were going to Paris (which is 3 days away).

Going on a two-week's hike to the mountains with a limping leg (I was 14 too:)

Opening an NGO in Nepal
