One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A crazy hike with the Scouts in the Romanian mountains back in 2004.

Being flooded in a camp in Czech Republic in 2006.

Hitchhiking across Greece in one day with an amazing friend in 2006. And on the same occasion making a jestful plan to go to Mexico.

Actually going to Mexico 3 years later. Seeing the religious processions in the San Juam Chamula church in Chiapas. The whole stay in Mexico was a touching experience.

The 24-hour-light days in Denmark during summertime.

Wonderful people I meet most of the times I travel; the coincidences through which I meet some of them; the shivery thought of how small the world is.
