One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen three of the most amazing lakes on earth: lake Mckenzie in Fraser Island, Australia, Yamdrok-Tso Lake in Tibet and Laguna Quilotoa in Ecuador.

I slept in the Kalahari desert outside my tent, by a bonfire surrounded by wild lions!!! I have to say that it was scary and I did not sleep very well, hehe. At least I was not devoured by the lions and I can tell the story now, anyway it was an exciting experience!

I did that crazy thing: White shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai, South Africa. I love sharks and I'll do it every year if I had the chance.

Once Ι cycled 230 kms. in 8 hours, it was exhausting but worth it!
