One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking the Camino de Santiago in 2013, I was really struck by the community of pilgrims. I hiked for 2 weeks with a small group of people from around the world, and it was the community that really made the pilgrimage for me.
In college, I visited (then) Yugoslavia, and REALLY loved the landscape and culture of the country that later became all the former republics.
I often enjoy more basic, less striking landscapes--the mountains of north Georgia, for example, is a place I love to visit because of its simplicity.
