我做过的一件不可思议的事情

*Arc du Triumphe. I thought Paris was going to be 'over done' or 'too touristy' but I was SO wrong. It was incredible to stand beneath the Arc du Triumph and see all the stories of the place, hundreds of years old, play through my mind.

*Hiking through an island near Lombok, Indonesia. The natural scenery there was unbelievable. It was one of the most rewarding and strengthening experiences I've ever witnessed.

*In 2008 while working for the Barack Obama campaign I met the President at a rally in Spencer, Iowa (a tiny farming town). He was speaking to a group of 200 people. It was unexpected and such an incredible moment in our nation's history.
