One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Skiing the Alps my first time skiing in my life. I did the bunny slope about 15 times and then tumbled my way down the blue slope when I felt confident enough. I almost gave up halfway through when I rolled down and lost one of my skis, but I persevered and made it all the way down. I felt pretty proud of myself.
Teach, Learn, Share
I am very into sustainable practices and nutrition. I'd love to learn more about European history.
