One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch Hiking : I got to ride on one of those large trucks and shared stories with the driver! Whom turned out to be a war photographer. He was transporting soup to raise money for all his trips.

Korea: Friends brought me to do "mountain biking" which I am terrible at and almost went off the mountain happy I was saved just in time! Then we had an awesome bbq and ventured onto a path with no lights surrounded by mountains sharing scary stories.

Australia: Partied at a warehouse filled with second hand furniture, hand made "apartments" and brilliant people.

Italy: Invited to a abandoned house party in the centre of Milano! Where there was a fire show, live music played by new and old friends. Danced the night away and when I thought I'd never meet these lovely humans again, I re-encountered with them 2 days before I had to leave the country. We ended up all having a wonderful time and bonded over a private bike tour around some of the prettiest art areas in Milano, had delicious coffee and Gelato.

Venice: Had a 7 day photography project in the city of Venice. A day before leaving the country I was invited on a beautiful gondola tour free of charge and bonded over the craftsmanship and art with the many talented artists.

Germany: Student exchange experience! A truly meaningful and beautiful experience. Great people, lots of traveling! Re bonded with old friends! Visited Holland, UK, Italy and so many German Towns! Those little towns thats where it's at! Highly recommend it to everyone!

People from all walks of life! As long as they are humble, open minded and enjoy sharing stories I will always be more than happy to meet them!
