One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things inspire me, and is is difficult to choose one that amazed me the most. Here is a few of my favorite ones as there are to many to list

A first hand African wilderness experience in Botswana, sleeping in a very small tent with lions and other wildlife walking about.

An amazing cultural experience in Malawi, incluiding a Sangoma ritual, involving a whole village.

Rainforests in Knysna, South Africa

Partying the night away in Mexico

But nothing beats a African sunset, viewed from the top of a mountain in a remote location!
