“As we got in the balloon basket, excitement and nervousness rushed through my body. Before I knew it, we were off the ground, and my knees were shaking from my fear of heights. My heart was beating while my brain was trying to catch up to comprehend what my eyes were seeing. As the sun began to rise; valleys, caves, ridges, and spurts of little towns built into the landscape came into view. I felt like I was on top of the world and nothing could go wrong.” -@abbeard Cappadocia, Turkey #passionpassport
