One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The world is an amazing place and I want to take advantage of doing many amazing things. Here are a few:

- Trekked the (not so) remote village of Batad and helped the locals plant rice on the paddy fields of Batad Rice Terraces.
- Island hopped around the islands of El Nido and hiked Snake Island in a bikini (just a super short hike)
- Walked half of Manhattan, New York City (from Midtown up to South Side Seaport) for a couple of hours.
- Drank from the fountains of Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic (supposedly filled with lots of minerals from the earth) and I'm telling you, it's very rusty-tasting!
- Ziplining over a cliff in Bohol, Philippines
- Volunteered to spend a few weekends tutoring kids who live in the slums
