One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have travelled to over 46 countries.
I have been to North Korea for a week last April!
I traveled by bus from Spain to Romania when I was 11 years old (3 days needed)
I have gone on an air balloon in Turkey!! =)
Also done parasailing in Ocean City (Maryland).
I have lived in China for 1 year when I was 18 years old.
I lived in a Chinese family in Guilin for a month when I was 13 years old.
I have run almost naked around a frozen lake with temperatures of -27ºC
While hitchhiking in Taiwan, I set up a tent and camped at a 3275m mountain peak with a friend!
I have hitchhiked and camped 4000km in 2 weeks all around Iceland.
I entered, hid and run away from military officers in a military camp in Myanmar (they had a checkpoint to pay a tax of 20$ for foreigners, so I tried to avoid it by jumping the walls a 5am and cross the base. The thing is that I didn't know that it was a military camp till I was already inside :P
I was invited and attended a super random Indonesian wedding, while hitchhiking in the ecuador line of Sumatra.

Teach, Learn, Share

As an advanced photographer, I can teach you photography skills. I can also teach you how to cook different Spanish dishes. And if you are not too shy, I can also teach you some Spanish!
Please show me the beauty of your country and let me photograph it!!!!!
