One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2011, I traveled for four months to 16 countries in Europe by myself and learned how to hitch hike (one of my bucket list items.) IT. WAS. AWESOME.

Other fun facts:I've seen my grandfather's hometown in Poland and my grandmother's hometown in Romania. There, a man told me that when he was 11 years old, he remembers my great grandfather getting shot in the chest (by anti-Semites) and surviving, which brought tears to his eyes, and consequently mine.

I've fed a 400 pound bear honey, after which he appropriately responded by sneazing bear juice all over my face.
