One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding a motorcycle down the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Vietnam, watching the jungle and water rush past , not worried about anything and enjoying every second as it passed
Seeing Everest from a plane. Looking out the window and there it was. in the middle of the air, almost in outer-space, right next to the plane. amazing.
Meditation retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh and realizing that the inner-peace and joy I feel while travelling is actually attainable all the time. with practice! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know lots of boring things about how to run a charity, am an expert thrift-store shopper and can teach you how to drive a manual transmission. that's about all.
