One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Growing up as a child in underground dug outs indigenous central Australia, watching the billions of stars in the isolated clear desert skies and learning about the dreamtime.

Lighting Buddhist Temples for the Monks along the water ways of Bangkok, Thailand whilst learning about the Thai culture and Buddhist practices.

Working in the Galapagos Islands and snorkelling with Sea Lions, Iguanas, Giant Sea Turtles and Sharks in my lunch breaks!

Sumitting Cotapaxi in Ecuador at 5897m altitude in the freeing cold under prepared for the psychological and physical exhaustion of it all.

Driving completely unprepared for the climate along the icy roads and blizzards of Iceland, seeing the milky opal blue thermal waters of the sulfur lagoons and the beautiful green lights of the Aurora Borealis dance across the sky.

Spending a month in a quaint little town outside Paris with international engineers from around the world, enjoying the breath taking scenery and freshly baked breads and cheeses, whilst engaging in tantalising conversation about african, middle eastern, and european cultures, politics, stories, song and dance, from inspiring first hand experiences.

So I realise that's more than ONE thing.. but hey its a BIG world.. cant we bend the rules a little!?!.... :p
