One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Admiring sunset at the Giant's causeway;
Singing on the stage with Dropkick Murphys & my best friends at a concert in Milan;
Sleeping in a parking lot in Bratislava with three crazy international friends;
Watching the sunrise from the top of Prague castle;
Surviving a night ride in the center of Moscow in a car with 8 people and a crazy driver;
Visiting a "non-existing country" with my boyfriend;
