In 2013, I climbed the Great Wall of China. In 2014, I illegally camped overnight at one of the many peaks in the Huangshan mountains in the southern Anhui province in eastern China. In 2015, I got caught in a Taiwanese typhoon. In 2016, I skied down a blue trail in northern Vermont with no prior experience. In 2017, I attempted to graduate from college.
