One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My experience in United States was one of the most
amazing things I ve ever done, traveling all the east coast
and meeting people from all over the world was quite fun.

Edited on September/2014:

Kayaköy Art Camp experience (check it out: http://www.sanatkampi.com/index_eng.html)

One day in this heaven:
-Morning run through an abandoned village after three hours of sleep
-Yoga session
-Breakfast! Cheese, tomatoes, bread, oil, honey never tasted like this before
-Workshops on drama
-Trekking to an untouched beach through the mountains
-Sailing away to another beach
-Local red wine with the sunset
-Local tastes for dinner at the ferry, sound of the silence
-Night swimming with the fullmoon
-Drinking and making music at the camp and getting ready for another three hours of sleep :)
