One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to The Ukraine in 2015 having never solo traveled before. I knew basically nothing about the place other than the streets were wide and that there had been a war going on. In the end it was great, but the last night there I got mugged by a bunch of soldiers who I believe had just come back from the east of Ukraine. Luckily I didn't bring out my passport but I did miss end up missing my flight. Thankfully though a good friend of mine was visiting his parents in London at the time so I stayed at his for a few days and then we went down to Brighton to meet another pal of ours. All in all I can't complain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure if I'm a good teacher. I know a little about Britain and British customs but that may not be super interesting hahaha. As far as learning, I'm always keen on learning bits and pieces of new languages. A few cooking tips would be great as well.
