One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am sure most of the couch surfers have done very amazing things, so it is hard to define what "amazing" might mean by me or others. I love travelling and meeting people, listening to stories, finding meaning and understanding people's realities. Connecting with people is the most amazing "thing"for me. Over the summer (2015) a friend and I embarked on a motorcycle trip along the Black sea coast line of Turkey. The places, the people, the food, the history, and the geography. A very amazing experience.
