Treasure

Money is not the true measure of success in life, but rather the experiences one has that are the true treasure.

I recently encountered a very dear friend from the past and the encounter triggered flashbacks to some of our experiences together and from there to just general reminiscences on life experiences that make up my personal treasure.

These are some of my favorites:
  1. I've danced all night in a Tokyo nightclub
  2. I've walked over a bed of hot coals
  3. I've climbed Mt Kilimanjaro
  4. I've wrestled Komodo dragons (onto an X-ray table)
  5. I've snorkeled off the coast of Zanzibar
  6. I've eaten seared foie gras in Paris
  7. I've sailed under the Golden Gate bridge at sunset
  8. I've climbed naked through the Exploratorium Tactile Dome (it was a "sanctioned" event)
  9. I've talked a suicidal young woman off a bridge
  10. I've seen flying fish and bioluminescence in the middle of the ocean
what are your treasured experiences?
