One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This question always bugs me..

Probably the most awe-inviting moment was swimming in the Devils Pool in the Victoria Falls and watching the water roar down below my eyes. Considering the clear incompetence of my guide, it was the most dangerous one, too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I discuss philosophy with pleasure. I can also give a long and exquisite crash-course into the detailed and nuanced culture around our countries dearest innovation, the Sauna!
