One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spending a night on top of Max Patch Mountain on the North Carolina/Tennessee border near Asheville. This was a view that couldn't be beat... a 360 degree panoramic of surrounding hills, villages and trails. It's quite a car hike up the mountain, but once you're there it's a short, steep climb to the top, and the views and beauty are more than worth it.

On a trip to Haiti in high school, basically everything was awe-inspiring or striking. The roads were barren and adventurous, the people were beautiful and loving but at times distrustful and desperate. The city was dirty, disgusting and scary, but rich with life, character and culture. The children we hung out with were above all, loving, exited, playful and happy, a state that American children might find difficult in conditions they lived in. A great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn the harmonica. Trombones are cool too.
