One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most impressing to me were always the people I met. I was stunned by the friendliness of locals in Turkey, the hilarious sense of humor of people in Russia, the overwhelming hospitality of people in Pakistan. Working with russian youngsters in a holdiday camp was intense (everything only in russian - I learned so quickly!) and I am thankful for that lifechanging experience.

Naturewise - the view on Lake Baikal in Russia, running down a sand dune in the Sahara desert, rafting in the Appalachians were most impressing.
