Amazing Things

On every CouchSurfing Profile there is a section where you're asked to mention "One amazing thing I've seen or done". I decided to make my own list of "amazing things" that I have seen/done, that I am about to do, and that I will do one day. And link it to my profile. Suggestions and comments are very much welcome.Amazing things I've done:- self-taught my ancestors' forgotten beautiful language- left Italy and forbode by parents to support me financially in 2006- cut it with Italian ham and salami and became a vegetarian- learned Norwegian to the point of understanding most Norwegian dialects- touched the bottom by working at McDonald's for 7 months, moving trash in the middle of snowstorms with only a McDonald's shirt on- found a beautiful German girl who shares my nomadic lifestyle- lived in Iceland during the 2008 great depression and learned Old Norse- Hitch-hiked from Iceland to the Netherlands and climbed up 1000m on a glacier (risking my life without a jacket)- gave up using shampoo and found myself with much healthier and cleaner hair- grew a nice fluffy beardAmazing things I'm about to do:- live as a nomad for over one year- learn how to knit a sweater- live on an organic farm for several months- learn Slovak, Dutch and Welsh- learn macrobiotic cooking- how to make soap, clay pottery, wave baskets, identify wild edible plants- reconstruct Proto-Indoeuropean roots- play the mandolaAmazing things I will do some day:- go to India and Nepal and back without flying, hitch-hiking most of the way and back with the Transiberian train- spin dance with Sufi mystics in Iran- join an ashram in Nepal and learn Sanskrit, tantric yoga and meditation- eat cooked insects- buy a second-hand carvan and put it in the middle of a field where I will grow my own edible forest garden and make it my home- become a father of a better person than myself
