One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Edinburgh with some friends, which is a great city to visit. We did all the touristy stuff (visit the castle, eat haggis, etc.), but the best part of the trip was deciding to randomly climb a large hill on the outskirts of the city. We were climbing as the sun was setting, and when we reached the top, the sky was turning a vibrant purple, red, and orange. The air was cold and crisp, but we were sweating from the hike. As we sat atop the hill, the lights of the city were coming on, and we sat silently watching the beautiful city before us. That was several years ago, but I can remember it like it was yesterday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I certainly don't mind passing on some of the things I've picked up here and there. Some things that come to mind are English, guitar, bicycle maintenance, business/personal finance, and web development. I also love learning new things from interesting people.
