One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen pirates off the coast of somalia, crossed the atlantic several times, the pacific several times, been through the suez canal all on massive merchant vessels. I have scuba dived the great barrier reef. My friend and i tried to drive a 1969 VW beetle from London to Cameroon. We brokedown in Morocco and backpacked the rest of the way. On that journey we slept with homeless people in trafalgar square, We got chased off the Arc de Triumph by police at 2 am, got chased off the Eiffel Tower grounds at 3am by armed national guardsman, washed a cop car down with exhaust flames in barcelona and were told we couldnt drive our car any more, picked up a stray dog in Senegal that we kept as a pet while we were there, we climbed waterfalls in burkina faso and then were chased off by crocodiles,
