One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding for 3 hours on the back of a motorbike in Vietnam with a couple of the most amazing guides you'd ever meet in order to cross the border and squeeze into a "taxi" to get to the capital.
One of the most meaningful things I've ever done was moving to Cambridge to start a job, not knowing anyone, and discovering that there are amazing people wherever you end up living.
