One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering at slums in India.

See the Himalayas. There's a quote I remember: "You are not here to change the Himalayas. The Himalayas is here to change you."

Travel + trek in Nepal(It is Heaven on Earth)

Horse-trekking/riding in Kyrgyzstan: I was really tempted to own that horse after that experience. I still believe that I will own a horse someday though.

Picnic with a Kyrgyz family after trekking to Sary-Chelek lake in Kyrgyzstan. Not to mention the "occasional" vodka. Trust me, kyrgyz people can really drink.

Listen to a Tibetan Singer who is a true musician. Very spiritual and life-changing experience.

Eating kebabs at Kashgar animal market in Xinjiang, China (The best I've ever tasted)

Drinking and dancing at Lugu Lake(Yunnan,China)with a bunch of travellers

Couchsurf in Iran- totally mind-blowing experience

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm keen to learn anything that I don't know. I can play guitar and love to sing. I'll love to share my travel experiences and listen to yours.
