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.

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!
