One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I teach trauma sensitive yoga at refugee camps in and Freiburg. I have also worked with Refugees in Munich, the most amazing kids I have seen in the world!
I have seen a Korean belly dancer move her hips to Egyptian music in a Russian club in Beijing, China. (Long live globalization)
The rain forest of Costa Rica. Breathtaking nature.
I was part of an NGO called Dance4life in Egypt which was an organization where we taught young people how to protect themselves from HIV/aids in a creative way.
I think that was pretty amazing.
I have climbed the Moses mountain :D which was for me also something pretty amazing! as it was June, 38 degrees and we climbed it after a 6 hour bus drive in the blazing sun!!!
The Taj Mahal
