One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This world is too big and beautiful to single out an experience :)

The night market experience in Poznan, Poland and Copenhagen, Denmark during winter. Snow, Hot chocolate & roasted walnuts

Sing along session with youth from other countries on board the Greenpeace campaign ship 'Artic Sunrise' as it was docked in Copenhagen.

Travelling by train/ship from Denmark to Poland via Germany with my Polish and German friends and being crazy enough to step out on deck whilst the liner was halfway across the Baltic sea in the middle of winter.

The moonlit beaches of the coral coast...in Fiji....beyond words

Trip to Mt Pilatus in Luzern, Switzerland and the lake cruise afterwards.....too awesome!

Sighting a whale for the first time ever in the Cook Islands
