One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Saw Moose and Bears outside of my car window from 1 m
-Visited the Arctic Circle... and got off the plane in a Cardigan
-Ate at Monastiri in Athens
-Drove through Bosnia
-Ate a ridiculously large amount of overpriced seafood on Hvar Island in Croatia and loved every second of it
-Winded through the most beautiful part of the world - Lofoten Islands in Norway for 4 days
-Went door to door at 8am on a Sunday morning in smallest Norwegian fishing town to ask for help starting our rental car. Succeeded, and somehow made our flight that evening in Kiruna.
-Almost peed my pants on a train in Germany because the WC was out of order. Stopped and missed the next 4 trains because the town was too small for any of the trains to stop at.

-Traveled Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand with my dearest boyfriend Woody

Californians give us weird looks when we say we're from Canada and have our own igloo
