One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 (wow, I can't believe how long ago) I hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro. It was really incredible hiking and camping for 7 days. It took a lot of mental strength, especially the last final hours of the hike. I know it really was a once in a lifetime experience and I am really grateful that I was also able to experience this with my brother.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to speak Arabic. Also I want to learn how to make new dishes and learn more about photography.
