One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My time in Tibet! The most amazing thing to see the beautiful palace, monasteries, temples, consuming yak meat, and seeing the people and their devotion to prayer. The Potala Palace was beautiful and the fifth Dalai Lama's Tomb was beautiful massive solid gold structure it was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to teach others about myself and where I come from. Learn from their experiences and story. Share our stories to the world as I continue to travel and repeat this amazing meeting of the minds. I love having conversations with people because I learn something new every time.
