One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing around all of the ancient temples in Angor Wat left me with a deeper appreciation for ancient cultures and was an experience that I will truly never forget.

Watching the snow-capped peaks appear out of the clouds alongside Tiger Leaping Gorge in China was a spectacular sight and was the epitome of a long day of hiking along the gorge. China, as I would come to learn, is a mysterious and beautiful country with a wide variety of awe inspiring locations.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, mathematics up through calculus, map and compass skills, how to ask for help in Chinese, how to cook an assortment of dishes including Tex Mex, how to use a Mac, how to eat with chopsticks, how to tie one's shoes.
