One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Diving one day while I was living in Micronesia and coming across a giant school of just-spawned juvenile reef sharks; there were hundreds of them... an amazing sight that I will never forget

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty good at building travel itineraries and also at packing minimally, if I do say so myself. I love the ocean and basically can't shut up about it.
