One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked and couchsurfed for 6000km through Canada from Vancouver to Toronto over three and a half months... Islands, Rockies, prairies, shield, lakes, falls... amazing.
I made a Krathong and placed it in the Nan river in Thailand on the night of Loy Krathong.
When I was a teenager I had a part time job planting trees. During the six years I worked there I've probably planted around 100,000 trees. Sadly they were mostly spruce and pine, planted too close together so not a very nice forest.
I've summitted Mount Kilimanjaro.
I used to have low self-esteem, but now I've learned to love myself :D
