One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too much. I believe coming on exchange and travel around Turkey is amazing enough.. Probably one last amazing thing I did was climbing Mount Kackar with one friend on off-season, where you climb without seeing a single human, without a proper road (all covered with ice), without any safety equipment (even a proper shoe), and yet we did it and reach almost 4000m..
