One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lifetime? That's a bit hard. However, I do know the most amazing CS story I've experienced so far.
I ended up in prison (!) in Uganda (long story, but no I am not a criminal, visa issue). Stayed with the best CS host how helped me out of the whole thing. That was certainly one amazing trip.

I'll tell you all about it if we meet.
