One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

From a purely WOW point of view the bridge climb at Sydney Harbour Bridge was amazing as was helicopter over the Canyon or being on the Great Wall of China. When i was younger, went to Lourdes (pilgrimage to South France) with my high school where we had to look after sick and elderly people which was a really good experience. UPDATE: from my 2 year away i saw some amazing stuff: Ice hike on a Glacier at Franz Josef in NZ, Great Barrier Reef, Helicopter over the Great Ocean Road in Oz, laying on random beaches on random islands in Fiji, Experiencing BIG FIGHT night in Vegas...
