One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Joy of riding on the back of a truck in Kenya whizzing down the road to my favourite place, hair whipping in my face and tang of dust in the air
Walking through the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam in a daze, trying to absorb each vibrant drop
Visiting friends in far-flung places around the world for many a shared moment of laughter
Last but not least - the kindness of strangers.
