One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Seen the Green Flash (twice so far)
- Bribed a government official (outside the US - Argentina) in order to get back home.
- Sneaked across a boarder in the dark of night once. It was so dark during a blackout that I walked right past the boarder patrol guards into Parguay, and could only see them when they took a drag off their cigarettes (that was good, otherwise I would have walked right into them).
- Bicycled from Florida to California self sustained. Also did Calgary to Winnipeg Canada
-Fell asleep in a hammock,
