One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding camels and experiencing the Great Pyramids in person was definitely one thing thats amazing I've seen.

Basking on a beach along the Red Sea, Amazing.

Being a role model to friends and family and showing them the world is at your fingertips.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I continue to live, I find that "the more I learn the less I know" and in that I am becoming more conscious to challenge my beliefs of what the world thinks to be truth.

The best teachers are those who never forget to stop learning.
