One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caught the travel bug midway through college while living in Barcelona, and have been trying to curb its insatiable hunger ever since. A few highlights along the way:

-Catching a vaporetto from the Grand Canal to St. Mark's Square in Venice
-Spending a day among the Mayan ruins in Belize
-Being a total tourist in Waikiki as I struggled to stand up on a surf board
-Witnessing the culmination of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in a Romanesque cathedral in Galicia
-Watching the changing of the guard at Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul
-Singing "O Canada" with thousands of elated fans in BC Place during a Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics medals ceremony
-Viewing the tip of Africa from the summit of Table Mountain in Cape Town
