One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled as the solo from London and camped all the way down to Greece and then back up to the Netherlands. Prague. Various places in the US.

Teach, Learn, Share

Probably the biggest insight… is that happiness is not just a place but also a process. …Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges, and… it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.
– Ed Diener
