One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen and done a lot of amazing things - I don't know where to start!

One that definitely stands out in my mind is a week spent at a traditional Aini Minority Village in Southwest China, Yunnan Province. I had the time of my life living with and learning from the Aini people, who still lead traditional lives. I learned how to properly pick tea, drink baijiu, and rear organic pigs with the local community. On my last night in the Village, I laid under the most beautiful night sky I've ever seen with my host sister. Aini village is on the China / Myanmar border and there were no lights for miles and miles - most amazing view of the stars imaginable.
