One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*** going for a run in my favourite park in Vienna on one of the first spring days, seeing all the cheerful people enjoying the sun after a loooong and cold winter.... Just love it - every year :)

*** being at the edge of a volcanic crater seeing the lava, feeling its heat, smelling the sulfur (Nicaragua)

*** feeling the heat of the sun on my skin increasing every second while enjoying an amazing sunrise over Angkor What (Cambodia)

*** running up some 2.000 stairs at 5am in the rain (after 4 days of hiking) being greeted by dogs and a tarantula to be then rewarded by the view of deserted Machu Picchu :) (Peru)

*** seeing the most amazing nightsky in the middle of the Bolivian desert

*** swimming with biofluorescent plankton in Danang (Vietnam)
