One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to choose just one, but here are a few....Bungee jumped off a bridge over the Zambezi River, spent an hour with the mountain gorillas in Rwanda, taught some of the most interesting and inspiring students I could ever hope to meet, seen the sunrise over Bagan in Myanmar, and sang 'It's not Unusual' by Tom Jones at 6am in a Karaoke bar in Georgetown, Guyana :-)
