About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as I can and experience new cultures. Maybe have a little fun along the way... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was so lucky to have the opportunity to scuba dive with two whale sharks. Our group just froze and watched as a mother and her calf curiously encircled us in poor visibility conditions underwater.

After the duo made a couple of laps around us the mother slowly starting coming towards me. At the last moment I leaned back to avoid a direct collision, and in doing so, laid my hand underneath her chin. The giant mammal didn't even flinch... I touched the momma from her chin to her tail. The regulator nearly fell out of my mouth to say the least... Wow.

Teach, Learn, Share

Right now I am learning Spanish. I am around 60 lessons in 60 days without missing even one!

Also learning to build a website and a few other things here and there. :)
