One thing I can't travel without...

Dance shoes.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I cracked my head open in the Colombian jungle and had to sleep there overnight on the beach. 

  2. I had my backpack stolen in Croatia and it took me nearly 24 hours to find someone who spoke English to help. 

  3. I was called up on stage spontaneously during a live music show in Cuba to dance with the performers.
