One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Senegal, West Africa, for a year, working in a Sustainable Development NGO. This led me to creating my own project called West Africa Discovery which aims to provide concrete information about the region of West Africa and promote sustainable development and Responsible tourism.

Walking 850km along the 'Camino Frances', part of the Camino di Santiago in Northern Spain, which took me 5 weeks. An awesome human experience!
