One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going to China ! In the plane, seeing the sun rise up at 2 am, then being so tired the ground was moving under my feet, walking on the great wall, crossing the country with the night train, meeting all those awesome people, and feeling like you've arrived on a different planet.
That's something I love when I travel, this feeling of alien-ness and being way out of your depth, it's like some sort of wonderful high...everything is new and yet you can find ways to bond with people over simple and silly things, getting to laugh together when you barely speak the same language - it's like magic. I hope there's many more to come !

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages ! I always love to learn new words in other languages, especially swearwords ^^ Also, I was told I was a good cook, and I love to learn how to prepare dishes from around the world.
