One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Falling from the motorbike on the Nepalese mud roads during monsoon time, hiking to the top of the Appennini, the Gran Sasso summit, in a sunny summer day, driving all the way from NYC to LA with hundreds of in between stops, spending the sunset with a wild moose in Yellowstone Park, sleeping somewhere in the middle of Montana, getting lost in the Bagan temples, getting drunk in Lusaka's Alpha bar, travelling to the northest point of south America and discovering its name: Punta Gallina, making love on a Thai beach plunged in fluorescent plankton, playing football with the kids in Buenaventura, with 40 degrees and "no chances I ll run, mate, just pass me the ball and I ll pass it back to you beyond the defence lines", loosing each single football match in Buenaventura, meeting my Argentinian pen friend in Tulum, eating beans and tortillas twice a day and posole for how long? and feeling the happiest person on earth.
