One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After getting a flat tire in Save, Benin, I spent the best evening of my life in a village full of children playing games, doing each other's hair and makeup, and singing songs! I skipped dinner and without even speaking French, I had the best conversations of my life thus far! This was the night I became passionate about experiencing cultures around the world!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn more about meditation. I would love to teach others how to slackline!
