When you learn, teach. When you get, give.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I feel very fortunate for some amazing experiences.
Watched sunsets all over the world. Best ones in Don Det, Laos over the Mekong river in rainy season, and in Pipa, Brazil with my main man drinking a beer in a quiet bay with some dolphins swimming around.
Climbed the Great Wall in winter and in summer.
Hiked in the Himalayas of Nepal for ten days (ABC hike).
Jumped off a 220 metres rope bridge in the mountains between Nepal and Tibet.
Washed an adult elephant in Nepal, and he washed me :)
Watched a beautiful Bengal tiger in the wild in India.
Been guest at a big Indian wedding in New Delhi.
Partied all around the world, from the beaches in Brazil to the beaches of Goa, India - and from outdoor festivals in Holland (Mysteryland!) and Germany (Loveparade!) to the best clubs in China.
