One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lifted an empty plastic beer bottle from the ground and carried it to the trash bin. And everytime someone does that it's an amazing thing.

Seen the leaves whirling in the wind on an unfinished road in Ukraine at 3:28am.

Read Cortazar with a bottle of champaign.

Hitchhiked from Europe to Southeast Asia.

Survived 10-day retreat
