One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I cant remember them all, every trip is full of them. I am fortunate that I won the birth lottery being born in the west so have a passport that gives me virtual open doors to the world, and am grateful for the opportunities I have been given in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I message you I'm probably looking for a local to show me something off the tourist trail that I might otherwise miss.
