About Me

CURRENT MISSION

venture into knowledge, experience through living, dance like nobody's watching

PHILOSOPHY

You can conquer almost any fear if you will only make up your mind to do so. For remember, fear doesn't exist anywhere except in the mind.
- Dale Carnegie

When planning for a year, plant corn. When planning for a decade, plant trees. When planning for life, train and educate people.
- Chinese Proverb

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

just entering the surfing world!

while stranded on the side of a highway in mexico - 3 generous mexicans stopped to offer us help (our car had been badly damaged - which is another story) they drove us to the next town let us sleep on the veranda to their friends house/taco stand. no couch involved but the lively gentleman drank mezcal with us until help arrived!
