So I have competed the Hudson from Albany to Beacon without even a canoe lesson – without Ninth Wave Global it would’ve been impossible. With constant encouragement and support. Talking to family they say I seem different with an inner peace and calm. To b taken away from the norm and only worry about survival , food and sleep and getting to your destination- it puts a different perspective on life. In my family I have a very troubled nephew who is really struggling so.”, after talking with Jon we are thinking about him doing the Amazon, with lots of support but we all feel it would be the making of him. My sister who is also struggling wants the above photo on her wall to inspire her through every day. This is exactly what I feel the organisation do – individual change that lead to a community progression- a ripple effect of inspiration and positivity.
We then head back to Mexico City and are treated to a comfortable bed and good food and as a surprise I am taken to Mexico City and shown the beautiful architecture and buildings that are never shown to us in Europe but really are Mexico’s hidden gem. Architecture is in abundance- such beautiful spaces, eateries and friendly people- not the Mexico we hear about in Europe. I am in awe of such a beautiful city and yet tourists miss this wonder and stay in cities such as Cancun and yet I encourage you to look around and see what this wonderful nation has to offer.
