我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Living on a tropical island for three years was full of amazing experiences that I wouldn't trade for the world. Seeing the ruins of Palenque pop out of the jungle or the sun rise over Machu Picchu were also incredible moments. Being in a minibus full of puking Vietnamese people was equally amazing, albeit in a totally different way.

教，学，和分享

I love cooking, especially for appreciative diners. I do yoga a lot and am always happy to introduce someone else to it. I try to be open to learning every day, but I would especially like to learn how to do a handstand.
