One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

hiking 4 miles in jaguar inhabited forest to get to a secluded waterfall with a natural pool in Iguazu Falls, Brazil I won't pretend I did the hike alone.

Spent a winter ski bumming in Party City, Utah and even worked for the Sundance film festival.

Spent A summer Living in Alaska, two words BEAR MACE

A lot of things that are Classified

Teach, Learn, Share

I once Spent an entire summer living in Port Au Prince, Haiti sleeping on a piece of carpet and using a mosquito net as a blanket, no air conditioning. Seeing extreme poverty will change your perspective on a lot of things and make you smirk when ever you hear people complaining about their VERY privileged problems.
