One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
one of the most amazing experiences a sailing trip which took us from costa rica, to cocos, galapagous, rapa nui, chille, around the cape horn, and back through the straights of magellan where we saw many glaciers and the finishing off going to tahiti, the whole trip was 8 months, and took us to some of the most beautifull places in the world, feel truly blessed to have seenthese places and met the people eho live there
Traveling India for the past 7 months has been life changing, from seeing and hearing the dalai lama talk in dharamsala, to the serenity of the himalays, and completing a yoga teacher training down south, its been amazing:o)
