One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling is my passion, some of my most unforgettable adventures include hiking to the base camp of the world’s highest mountain 🏔️and standing near an active volcano glowing with blue lava 🌋

I also had the chance to try Luwak coffee in Indonesia. If you’re not familiar with it, definitely look it up, it’s one of a kind! Surprisingly, I really enjoyed the taste☺️
