One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekking in the Luang Namtha jungle in Laos and visiting some local villages with two magicians! They were interacting with villagers in such a way! Much laughters and smiles! I couldn't have experienced it in a better way!

I've also gone from Geneva to Minsk in Belarus by cycling, this was one of my best trips!
