One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked from Pau, France to Finesterre, Spain. It was 1000 killometers and took 40 days.
I also biked across Oregon and Idaho; that was only 800 miles and took 2 weeks.
Oops, that was two.

Teach, Learn, Share

I give good traveling advice. I know a bit about International Political Economics. I can name and locate every African country, and give the capitols for most of them. I can correct your grammar. I can repair a bike.
