One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Angel's Landing in Zion National Park, Utah. Beautifully terrifying! That same trip I saw Bryce as well and that too is amazingly beautiful. Driving through little Mormon towns between the parks was a fascinating part of American culture that I got exposed to as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's have a conversation and share the knowledge! I've got stories/ info about the places I've lived :) I can teach a bit of language skills as well as yoga (though I'm a bit out of practice since I have bad back issues).
