One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting a conversation with a stranger. Every single time.
One such random chat, on the two penultimate days of backpacking through Philippines, led to me and some friends ending up on a virutally unknown music festival held in a natural amphitheater 2000 m above sea level, full moon above, 4000 m mountains in the back and one of the most beautiful bays of the world.
