One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpack-traveled from East Coast to West Coast of North America (twice: 1st time throughout USA; 2nd time through Canada) by train and bus on my own.

Saved the life and future of 10,000 kids (per year) from a dangerous fishing operation in shark-infested waters through an exposition article I wrote that led to the signing of a Presidential Executive Order for its complete ban.
