One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most things we see and do are amazing when you think about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn any kind of new things.
But if I have to fill in something:
Languages, most of all Spanish and Russian.
Fishing (at sea).
Climbing (I'm still really bad at it though I enjoy it so much)
Paragliding.

I can teach Italian cooking. At least, my way to it.
