One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I quit my job to travel which felt pretty amazing. Probably the some of the most powerful experiences I've had traveling have been outdoors: hiking, biking, swimming, diving, etc. I loved scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef, quad biking in the rainforest, jumping out of a plane over NZ's Lake Taupo, and hiking the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Looking forward to more amazing adventures!
