One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Not only one but many amazing things I think I have done :)
1)Hitchhiked at Cameron Highland (Met a great and friendly family), although not a very long distance, but is a very great 1st time hitchhiking experience. :)
2)Met up a friend in the evening, decide to go travelling together, set a location- Batam Island(Indonesia), and go at the next day without any plan. That was my 1st time to be so crazy and it was exciting.
3)My 1st solo backpacking in Japan for 17 days. Met a lot of great and nice hosts and people along the way.
4)Had quit a comfortable Job, decided to pick up a new language (German) and study in Germany for about 3.5 Years.
5) Just bought 1-way ticket (via blablacar) to Vienna from Freiburg (Germany), did not have any plan where to go and have not found any CS host or book any hostel in advanced, until I reach Vienna (Austria).
6) Get lost in Venice (Italy), but was a positive experience =)
7) Learned how to ski in just 4 hours.
8) Get lost in a forest (Meteora, Greece) alone when it getting dark, was really lucky that I found a way back.
