One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my most memorable experiences thus far would be walking through the Plitvica National Park in Croatia... It is the most amazing park of never-ending waterfalls and lush greenery... Everywhere you go is filled with the sound of roaring water and the scenery so beautiful it stops the heart.

Also Santorini, Greece was a beautiful island with the greatest sunsets... Sitting on a ledge in Ia, eating gyros, watching the sun set over the empty Mediterranean Sea and looking at the cliff side of white buildings all perched on the edge of the huge black cliffs... an experience like none other.

Also worth mentioning is hitchhiking around Ireland. Starting in Dublin and hitching to Cashel, where we saw the famous Rock of Cashel, and then to Cork. From Cork hitching all the way to Dingle where we biked the peninsula of Dingle. From Dingle we hitched to Doolin and experienced a sunset over the Cliffs of Moher. From there we walked through the ever strange landscape of The Burren and thumbed a ride to Galway where we spent the best time wandering the charming streets and drinking black Guinness in the pubs. We then hitched to Donegal and then to Galway where we ferried off the beautiful green island.
