One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Managed to stay safe during my endless weekend european trips, stayed away from getting grabbed by gangsters for hard sells in France and many other attempts for stealing, robbery or scams across different countries, but, unfortunately, finally got robbed of an I phone 4S while wandering alone in Barcelona, the experience of which, however, all contributed to my thesis on overseas students' safety and got the comment from my professor who said: you had the first-hand experience.
