One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing and swimming in the Black Sea for the first time was incredible. Luckily for me it is now almost an every day thing!

Standing in the Red Square and soaking in all of the history as well as walking the streets of Saint-Petersburg with Dostoevsky running through my mind.

Riding in the back of an old Soviet KAMA3 for 6 hours up the craziest mountain road I have ever seen.
