One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a lightning striking a tree and then a branch falling on top of a car!
Rafting in Iceland and jumping out of a rock 6 meters above the river into the river!
Hiking Europe's biggest glacier (again Iceland - Vatnajokull) and eating 800 years old ice!
Spending the 1st August in Murten, Switzerland with all the amazing fireworks dangerously everywhere!
Going to an Efteklang concert in Lisbon and the band saying that the next song, which wasn't in the setlist, "Swarming", was dedicated to ME!
Falling of a 10meters cliff in São Miguel island, Azores, and be saved by a pipe that magically was there still 8meters from the ground... It almost didn't hurt me! So "lucky"
Hiking the "Levada do Caldeirão Verde" in Central Madeira - I thought I was in China or in a tropical rainforest with amazing views on mountains and waterfalls, one with 100 meters high. Look it up!
Camping in Whitehaven Beach, in Whitsunday Island, Australia.
Snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef!
Seeing thousands of huge bats flying in the middle of the city - Cairns, Australia
Riding a motorbike in Naxos, Greece
Witnessing the Iguassu waterfalls
Snorkeling in Koh Tao, seeing two enormous Trigger fish - one in offensive mode - scary.
Then stuff you really don't want to know! =O
