One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my strongest travel memories was spent napping while seated overlooking the valley dividing Georgia from Chechnya while the national police trained a few hundred yards away.

Any time cycling or walking in the Japanese mountains leaves me happy and light as well.
