One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I took a boat across the Amazon from Colombia to Brazil, slept in a hammock for 4 nights next to hundreds of South Americans and their children, chickens and bananas. I practiced my limping Spanish with a Chilean programmer who offered to marry me, was watched over by a motherly Brazilian whose hammock hung directly above mine, and witnessed a couple getting arrested in the middle of the night for drug trafficking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll teach you how to bake fruit pie or make a paper boat.
