Since then I have traveled to Europe and the middle east on the USS Nassau from 200-2004, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; London, Paris, Wales; Montreal, The bay of Fundy, and finally Punta Arenas, Chile to board the RV Nathaniel Palmer on a research expedition to Antarctica.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmmm not sure which is the top choice here. I was installing environmental sensors in a Florida salt marsh with an Alligator on shore nearby. The alligator disappeared in the water and came up with her eyes watching me but I still finished installing the instrument before i got in the boat. (I was moderately scared)
