One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Flew over the Annapurnas in an ultralight. WOW.

Paraglided from the top of a mountain to the Lake Phewa in Nepal (got airsick! and forgot to recharge camera...)

Intervıewed AC/DC ın the 70s when Bon Scott was stıll alıve.

Worked for the royal famıly ın Abu Dhabı (but got thrown out for standıng up to them).

Camped out and watched the sun rise in the Western Desert in Egypt and the Wahiba Sands in Oman.

Dived with Grey Nurse sharks in Australia.

Watched a turtle laying eggs on a beach in Oman in the middle of the night.

Chased hammerheads in the Maldives (I thought they were dolphins!)

Got slightly misplaced on a 2 day (that was the intention...) hike in Wadi Hassa, Jordan. Got back a day late having run out of food.

Met so many amazing, wonderful, open-hearted, kind, generous people from all over the world.

Driven a jeep across the Wahiba Sands on the Arabian Peninsula.

Travelled thru Rwanda and Uganda in 2015.

Teach, Learn, Share

I never want to stop learnıng tho my lınguıstıc abılıtıes are becomıng less every year. Currently tryng to learn Arabic...
Happy to teach Englısh or Yoga. Would love to learn how to be a decent cook - fınally. Love to learn more about new cultures and ways of seeing the world.
