One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh shit. Having a staring contest with a HUGE barracuda in Mexico, figuring out what to do when I got stuck in atlanta by myself, 19 years old, with no money and a standby ticket because the ash cloud from Eujafjallajökull was covering Europe (I didn't get home until two weeks later), throwing myself of the boat in pure euforia in the caribbean when a couple of dolphins suddenly appeared literally two feet away from me, diving the blue hole in belize, sitting at a dock on caye caulker with a friend an e couple of beers, geeting acquainted with a stingray that just kept coming back to check us out, seeing a spotted eagle ray in mexico, seeing a indigo hamlet in belize, seeing a manta ray in ecuador, seeing a whale shark in Mozambique, every time I saw a baby blue tang or yellowtail damselfish, petting the head of a 3 m nurse shark in fiji (sorry sharky, won't happen again), walking the inka trail, surfing in ecuador, falling in love on a cliff i colombia, falling out of love by the niagara falls, sitting on the beach one summer night in Falsterbo with some friends who are singing in harmonies while the sun is rising, drinking red wine and talking all night with a long lost friend, going on the zip line over roskilde festival, seeing the streets at roskilde festival, seeing coldplay at roskilde festival, seeing fleet foxes at roskilde festival, seeing band of horses at roskilde festival, seeing ofwgkta getting kicked of the scene at roskilde festival, having spontaneous road trips to gothenburg with two friends and ending up speaking danish all night, learning the names of all the fish and coral in the caribbean, petting and ringing a tiny baby owl at the bird observatory in falsterbo, mooning scotland from the top of ben nevis, having my first art exibithion, hitchhiking with crazy people in mexico, seeing a huge fucking school of hammerhead sharks in Mozambique and almost collapsing of excitement, going travelling by myself for a month and surviving, hitchhiking from one party to the next with a police van, crying my eyes out from sadness and pain and loneliness but also happiness, looking for turtles under the full moon in nicaragua, making a new friend, seeing peoples' lives getting better, I can go on and on...
