One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have tracked jaguars in the jungle, played rugby , cricket ( but I am such a bad player that I dont even know why I am mentioning it) and soccer, I have worked with amazingly beautiful and wonderful sea turtles around the world. I have worked as a volunteer in many different countries trying to improve people's quality of life. I run my bike when I was younger more than 2000 km. I was camping 5 days in the driest dessert in the world and I run out of water the second day ...no kidding. what else?? just ask me!!
PS: I also collect wind instruments and I kind of play harmonica, and chinese dizi flute.
