the most important life changing thing that i have learned in my travels through europe is that everything always works out as long as you make an effort, and also that one thing leads to another. Such as the time when i stood at a truck stop with my brother trying to get a ride to vienna , austria, we were trying to hitch a ride for maybe 2 hours with no luck. we were starting to think about where we might sleep. then the cops came and told us to move away from the intersection, so we walked to the gas station where we found our ride withing 5 minutes of that.
or the time that i was with my friend tim at the 2009 bi annual cheese olympics in switzerland for the weekend and we had no place to stay. we planned on sleeping in the woods but an amazing man named george hosted us the entire weekend. George gave us his time, delicous food and lots more. ill never forget him
life is incredible and we are so lucky to be alive.
and now i am staying with a couple who i met at my permaculture design course. i am working in theire garden in exchange for room and lodging and inspiration. they have a friend who has a retreat center on the tallest mountain in southern portugal. howard called the man tonight and asked if he was interested in having someone come down for a while and doing a work exchange. so, i think this will be my next destination. the man who runs the retreat center has been a buddhist for many years and is close friends with the dali lama. how bout that !!!!
