One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand and bouldered The Keyhole at Piha Beach, NZ with gigantic waves crashing onto the rocks. Hearing the silence and gazing at the eternal roof of countless stars in the Wadi Rum desert in Jordan. Jumping from a roaring 20 meter high waterfall fighting its way towards the Dead Sea and discovering hanging gardens in the middle of a desert landscape.
