One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the summit of Mt Annupuri, Niseko with board in hand and seen the world from the top of a snowy mountain, the serenity and awe, then boarded down through fresh waist-deep powder until reaching home base where onsen awaits.

negotiated my wallet back from a pickpocket on the streets of Amsterdam without force (although minus 20 pounds)
