One Amazing Thing I've Done
Witnessed firsthand hundreds of wildebeests and zebra cross the Mara River, in the path of hungry crocodiles, during the Great Migration at the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya. Served two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the African country of Uganda. Walked within feet of the Victoria Falls drop (stared death in the eye). Toured Angkor Wat in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Visited Prague in the Czech Republic. Solo traveled for two weeks in Turkey, Israel, Spain, and Morocco. Completely liberating!
