Yes, you read that right- my body hit a cement wall while on a moped. Taylor and I were coming back from surfing and the only way we knew how to get back to our Airbnb was down this dangerously narrow street. It all happened so fast…

The road was closing in, becoming too tight to handle. Our moped started to wobble and we started to lose balance. Taylor thought he could make it, but he was mistaken. My sandal flew off my foot as my leg scraped against the graffitied wall. And just like that, I was yelling, “OW, OW, OW! STOP NOW!”
