One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In New Zealand, I did the Black Abyss tour in Waitomo where you absail deep down into a cave in a wetsuit (did I mention that I did this in the middle of New Zealand's winter?) Not only did I get to experience glowing worms, I got to swim in an underground lake (freezing cold), tube, rock climb up through a waterfall, and well, it was just all and all an amazing adventure to compliment an amazing trip!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to teach about perserverence and determination. Everyone has challenges in life. I have my share (especially with my vision limitations). I, however, do not allow these limitations to hinder me from doing anything, and I often try to teach by example. How many other people with albinism do you know who rock climbs, road-cycles, kayaks, and anything else crazy and adventurous?

Austria, Belize, France, Germany, New Zealand, Peru, United Kingdom
