One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have published three travel memoirs 🧳🌎

In 2016 I did a 9 month world tour starting with a Transsiberian train through the whole Russia and then moving on to South America and do solo traveling there for about 3 months from where I traveled to the US across 25 states, from Alaska in the north to Florida in the very southern US point, Key West.

As far as incredible adrenaline boost type of experiences go, I've done bungee jumping and it was absolutely awesome!! The feeling of standing on the edge and then just letting yourself go... this should be really experienced to understand the feeling :)

I've done paragliding, less extreme in comparison with bungee, but still amazing.. soaring through the clouds, very relaxing.

SKY DIVING ! That was a life time experience! And I have done it in New Zealand, with gorgeous views of mountains and Lake Taupo.

I've done Vipassana meditation - going within and seeing the reality as it is. This was a 10 day course which I have completed twice in Malaysia.

Hmmmm I have also made my childhood dream come true and attended to concert of Backstreet Boys! Even though it was like 15-20 years since I was a real fan of that band, but it didn't matter - all that teenage fun and joy were back!

What to say, Life can be truly Amazing if we let it. Always experience more, go for it, try it. Don't put off doing what you would really love to experience in this life as tomorrow is not promised.
