One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw Machu Picchu from Huayna Pichu, the peak above it, after hiking in on the tracks.

Stayed with the Hobos From Hell in their hidden lair in the redwood forests of UC Santa Cruz.

Ended up at a wedding with some people I met in Nasca, Peru. As a friend, not a tourist. It was an amazing night, and so much fun.
