One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled the trans-Canada documenting the southern simulacrum of the inukshuk in three days (this is more crazy than amazing)

The coldest winter in Berlin (20 years standing) made me a hardier person. When I moved to Montreal I biked through the Winter from Fall to Spring.
