One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived and traveled to 47 U.S. states as well as having lived overseas twice: once in Australia, once in London and Paris. Every place I've traveled to leaves me awestruck.

Feeding rescued and rehabilitated wild kangaroos and wallabies in Tasmania out of my hand.

Climbing to the top of a Mayan pyramid in Mexico barefoot, shirtless, and sweaty but in sunglasses! Amazing!

Graffitieing the Berlin Wall with this message:
"Love one another always"

Teach, Learn, Share

World travelers hold the highest respect to me because to me, they have tasted life!

I want to live like my grandfather who went to all 7 continents and saw the world.
