Two truths, one lie:
I cracked my head open in the Colombian jungle and had to sleep there overnight on the beach.
I had my backpack stolen in Croatia and it took me nearly 24 hours to find someone who spoke English to help.
I was called up on stage spontaneously during a live music show in Cuba to dance with the performers.
