One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being invited to a wake in the Philippines and meeting the whole family and getting drunk with them around the casket, going to the witchdoctor ceremony in Northern Peru.

Getting stuck on the Galapagos island for 3 weeks. Living there on a yacht with a 70yr old captain, who had scared his crew away by getting in the bed of a 22yr old Norwegian girl uninvited, whilst being naked.
