One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I’ve done is spend a month in Sri Lanka, where I traveled solo and lived with locals. This experience allowed me to deeply immerse myself in the culture, learn their traditions, and share meaningful conversations with people from different walks of life. Staying with locals gave me a unique perspective on the country, its customs, and the warmth of its people.
