One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canvassed for Obama's campaign during the 2008 primaries and shook the man's hand in Oregon :D

Sailed the Southern Islands of Greece (Mykonos to Santorini) on a beautiful 50' sailboat. Swam in private coves, ate with locals, listened to the beautiful sound of the Lira while looking up at star-filled sky in the middle of the warm Aegean.

Swam with sea turtles, skinny-dipped in freshwater cenotes, and explored small Mayan villages in beautiful Mexico.

Every summer I roadtrip like a champ out of my beautiful, sunshine-yellow '81 VW westfalia campervan.

Teach, Learn, Share

There are lots of free or cheap alternatives to many of the city's 'tourist attractions' with hefty fees :)
