One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I rode my bicycle from Seattle to Boston. I've also skydived, taken the TransSiberian Express, have been a teacher on the west side of Chicago for three years, hiked to the bottom of the grand canyon, trekked the himalayas. Lucky to have met great people along the way.
