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
