The first impression

The first day of class, our new teacher gave to us a list with four options, four words to select just one. The words were: Sun, Air, Tree, Earth. And we had to choose the one that represents us and explain why. 

Well, I have to say that I love these kind of test to meet yourself better and improve your imagination. So I was really surprised and excited, because it was the first class of English, and it was nice, not bored or theoretical like the others nine subjects that we do.


So, initially I thought that I was like Air, and then I ask to myself, how it would be? Like a feeling of freedom? Or like a feeling of nothing?

And almost instantly I thought that I wasn't like that. So I thought again and asked to myself, what of these words are you? And then I saw myself, a few years ago beside that beautiful and lush tree, in France, Forêt de Tronçais. I felt a beautiful feeling with this tree, a feeling of real freedom, the freedom that I was looking for. Because it is like feeling the roots of myself, with the earth, in a fixed place, without leaving, like your real home. If I'm a Tree, I'm my own home, and that sounds really good for me. Knowing myself and be happy just with me, I believe in that kind of freedom.

And you may think, "a tree is not exactly the most free option that you can choose, it can't be moved because it is fixed on a place". Yeah, well, that's exactly my definition of freedom. I think you are really free when you are feeling the roots of yourself and you are good with it, if it is not the case, I think you are trying to move, because maybe you want to escape, and then you are not really free. If you accept yourself, just the way you are, you will be always good, and it does not care where you are, because you are always in your body. If you think that your human body is your home, you will always at home. And a tree, is like your human body, just your home. 

And then, in the following slide, there are the definitions of the type of person that you are, in function to the word that you have chosen: 

Earth: systematic, logical, tidy, organized... STRICT! 
Tree: balanced, sensible, calm, fond of nature, ambitious, strong... RELUCTANT TO CHANGES!
Sun: active, optimistic, lively, cheerful... TOO INDEPENDENT!
Air: creative, imaginative, dreamy... YOU DON'T STICK TO REALITY!


Hello, again!


Hey, I’m Lianett Pérez, as you know, but all my friends call me Lily. I prefer this than Lianett, it is very seriously! 
I think we had to explain some things about us, so I would like to explain what I think now of my future.



Well... Right now I'm studying the humanities subjects, like Latin, Greek, Literature, History... Because it is what I like for now, but I don't know what I want to study. In 4th of ESO I thought to study Psychology, you know, to help another people, which kind of person wouldn't want this in his future? But, unluckily it is more scientific of what I could imagine... And now, I really have no a idea what I want to study, to do, or to work in my life. I only know that I don't want to wake up with sixty and realize I hate my job. I think if I really like a job, it isn't a job because it becomes in a good part of your life.

So, I took a decision, when I finish the baccalaureate I would like to live in the United States for about one or maybe two years. Part of my family live there, and I would like to see them too. But principally to learn English 100%, and take it like the first language. This is my first dream for the moment. And I have to take a decision for my future but I don’t want to depress myself with this, so until this moment, I would like to travel and know new places, people, or cultures... Because we have to keep going but I really think that take this decision is very important in our life, and future. Maybe it is the most important question for us, what would we like to study, or to do. But first of all we are here to be happy, of course. And now I had to study hard and be the person who I want, to be happy. That’s all that I can say now, maybe tomorrow it is different, but for now, I really enjoy the languages.


By the way, of course I actually expect to earn good grades and be proud of my work in this high school putting my best effort.

“Every single one of you has something that you’re good at. Every single one of you has something to offer, and you have the responsibility to discover what that is.” -Barack Obama.

The last one is the sentence of the speech that I have chosen. Why? Well, I think it represent very good my important question in this moment of my life. I totally agree with this sentence, I think we actually have a responsibility, not just with the society, but with us too. We deserve to be happy, and to be proud of what we are. And we are what we do, so right now, we’re students, but in a future, we’ll be a workers, so we have to choose very well and set ours owns goals if we want to be successful. So I can say that my first objective now is meet challenges in the future, and believe always in myself. Just doing this is how I can find what I really would like to study in the future.

To whom it may concern,

It is nice to be able to contact your company. I am writing to enquire about the "Thailand Volunteering Gap Year" and be informed about the experience and requirements. The second reason of this letter is to introduce myself and send to you my resume so that it can be taken into consideration.

I am a young student woman and I am writing you because while we were doing a project of our "Perfect Gap Year" I realized I want to work with you and help in all the way I would can. As I said before, I am a young person, but I am hardworking and dynamic too. I consider myself an entrepreneurial person, with great aptitudes, skills for learning and a great ability in customer service.
I really love to help people, and see how you can bring smiles of nothing.
I think I am fit for work and I am enthusiastic about the idea.

I thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Lianett Pérez.

New feelings.

Yesterday night I watched "Into the wild" and I stayed absolutely shocked while I was watching the film. So, "amazing" is the best way to describe that feeling, the story, the facts, just amazing.

Probably, you -whoever you are- have watched the movie (if you haven't go watch it right now) so you know more o less what the feeling is after living that story.

A lot of people around me had recomended it for a long time but it was one of this things you say "yes, I will watch it" but you don't really mean it. Three days ago I discovered the soundtrack, And I decided to finally watch the movie.

What can I say? It's amazing, perfect. I wish I could met a boy like Alexander Supertramp. An intelligent and restless guy who, after finishing college, goes to see the world carring nothing and only with one purpose: finding himself through life and wild nature.

After one day of seeing this film I can say I still shocked. It just touched me so deeply. The story is great, the main character is unbelieveble; how strong, sensible and sensitive he is! And in the whole film there's so much humanity and purity. Human essence, biggest health. I loved it. 

And it is based in real facts! Christopher McCandless was the really guy, it is unbelieveble.

The real one, Christopher McCandless















And well, there are some quotes I love from the film, well from Christopher McCandless:

“Happiness [is] only real when shared”

“I read somewhere... how important it is in life not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong... to measure yourself at least once.”

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

Violinist Plays During Protest

Nowadays, in Caracas, Venezuela, the situation is very difficult, and we just focus the situation like: It is not with us, so we can't get into that problem. Well, the news is; in Caracas, Venezuela people have been protesting violently and clashing for over a month because they want new elections, because now there is Nicolas Maduro as a President. 
In a violent protest, the police targeted the protesters with tear gas, and the protesters just can protect themselves from the gas behind makeshift shields.
Amid of the trouble, one protester stayed calm and played his violin, until a member of GNB ("Guardia Nacional Bolivariana") took the violin by the ropes and broke it. The protester was hurt and disappointed. 
I'm so sorry about this boy, and this situation, it is really maddening, I can't imagine leaving home and find all the police and all these people fighting because they want their rights, just human rights that right now they are not given to them. 

(PD: I'm sorry too for can't put a video in English, I really look for but I'm not finding anything... And I really think it is important, really important to see how disappointed was this guy, and how much pain can suffer the society over a government, and of course how much damage can cause a corrupt government.)

"Internet"

Can Internet change the world for the better? That's the first question of that entry.

First it was fire for prehistorical human beings, then it was writing, finally electricity (among others). Now, what has changed our world and society is Internet. Is Internet going to improve our world as the others discoverings did? 

Resultado de imagen de internet addiction
On one hand -and only hand for a lot of people- we have the obvious advantatges, like the whole world immediate communication or the access to all kind of imaginable information (usefull or not, depending what you look for).

On the other hand, Internet makes our lives so much easier that we are letting them control us. Often, everything that makes things easier ends becoming an enemy because it reduces us -human beings or privacity- at our minimum capacity of what we are and what we can do. And we can do a lot by ourselves. 

Consequently, Internet is making us believe that we can't do or know a lot; and as result our behavior is getting worse because we trust Internet too much instead of ourselves.
In conclusion I think Internet can not change the world for the better because it's damaging the poeple on it too badly. We should find a balance. Figure out what we can do by ourselves and don't trust these actions to Internet or our smartphones for example. By this way we would become less dependant on it (it's clear that a big part of the population IS dependant) and we would learn that we are so worth it.

Our home.


"We have almost learnt to respect the world". I don't know who says that but I wouldn't. And you only need to watch or read the news to see that it is not true. Or just look around us. Do you think this place, were you are right now, it's respected?

In my opinion the world has been the last priority in general for everyone, specially politics and powerful people that only care about their money (and they are actually the ones that can do more about it). But now that has become on emercency, well it's necessary a priority. Or at least it should.

Maybe now people it's a bit more conscious about it. There are more campaigns to try to catch attention and trying to make a change. But the problem is that even these campaigns, a lot of them, are only propagande. So again, we have money and not looking after our planet.
But well, there are actually the ones taht really want to do something for this home that we all share.

To finish, just say -once more- that I think we have a long way to go before we can say the sentence "We have almost learnt to respect the world". Actually, in my opinion, we have forgotten to do it, because once we knew how to do. So maybe the solution is look at the past.

I used this video in our presentation of "Consumerism", but I think it is quite appropriate on this theme too. So there you have it!

Three suns in the sky

There is a news from Mongolia, where appeared something strange in the sky, a celestial phenomenon. It seems like there were three suns in the sky, well literally there were, WOW, amazing!

It is so weird to explain, well the middle sun was actually the real one, but the others, on the left and the right were just a smaller reflections of the real sun. I mean, there were not real.

Then a local meteorological centre explained that this phenomenon is actually an optical phenomenon, known as an "anthelion", which means that the high sunshine in the sky and the light passing through snow crystals in the air caused the reflection of the others two.

It appears only when very specific conditions are given, for example, the anhelion can appear but the temperature must be lower than -30ºC, and the air must be filled with vapour and clouds (ice crystals.)

Well, I really do not know what I can say in my 'opinion', it is a real phenomenon, one of the many that our home, the Earth, has. I would like in a moment of my life, live something like this, and used it to respect even more the place where we live, because it is really a box of surprises. And the nature has more than we can see offering to us, so please, live and enjoy it, but especially respect it.

Mobile Bookshop in Baghdad

In Baghdad, Ali al-Moussawi, classified as a bookworm turned his van into a "mobil bookshop". He makes up to $4,000 a month selling books around the city. His bookshop has succeeded enough to hire four persons to help him. 
Resultado de imagen de bookshop mobile in baghdad

Ali said that it took nine months to achieve his idea and he really hope that people who do not read a lot, may be interested in a future, because his aim is promote reading. Something that I appreciate very much.

He said that he wants to develop too his bookshop and ‘impove its current shape’
He changes the books on the display when he is moving the van, because there are many areas divided still, and in Sunni areas, are most famous the books about Saddam Hussein.

Well the news is really nteresting, especially because we do not expect that one people who wants to change something takes it so seriously and sacrifices a big part of himself to make people think and that is so beautiful in our humanity. The power to want to give without having to recieve anything in return more than a smile or have help.

Ed Sheeran's new album.

Resultado de imagen de ed sheeran ÷
Well, I realized that I did each and every one of the blog entries listening the Ed Sheeran's new album, and I don't know actually what to do, so I'm happy to think that I can comment and share with all of you my real favourite music, you know, that type of music that when you're listen it just makes you smile and that makes you jump for joy, amazing right? Well let's to see.

After all I'm happy because I'm doing my last news post (now sounds "Shape Of You"). 
I'm extremely happy because Ed Sheeran's new album (he wrote in these last three years like 100 songs... it's a pity they can't be all of them in the album) went on sales March 3, after these three years in solitary confinement. His last work was "x" (Multiply), published in 2014, and the past was "+" (Plus). Well, now it is "÷" the third work of his career, (Divide) okay, maybe it is funny, but it's so interesting too. (Sounding "Happier" now... ups!  actually sounding "Dive")

"The third album is on the way and it's the best I've done so far. I'll see you all next fall, thanks for being amazing, "he said in December 2015, when he left the networks. His return came in mid-December 2016, when he published a blue image in his accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, which confirmed that the third album was on the way. And I have to confess, if you see around this entry, I mean my blog I think you can understand that my favourite colour is blue (if you can't, ask to the turtle on the left), so yes, I love that, so much too. (Right now: "What Do I Know?" -Amazing-).

On January 6, Ed Sheeran presented the two songs, which quickly climbed to the top of digital streaming platforms. I have to be honest, I was a little (just a little) disapponited. I liked it but not as much as I love his others songs. I mean, I love Ed because his lyrics and melodies are special, relaxed, and he's really concient of what he says, and what he's trying to say. And I think these two were not exactly that, maybe more "Rihanna" or other style. (I say Rihanna because the first song was being written for her, but Ed liked it too much and decided to put a touch of it.) So I was thinking: I can't wait for all this new music to come. 
But the album was out, and YES, again Ed Sheeran published an AMAZING album, and made me smile with every song and jump for joy. So want to give thanks to him for creates an amazing world into us. ("Supermarket Flowers", maybe the best.)

These are all the songs in the album. I recommend you to listen all ot them, but if not, at least the ones that I put on the text. :) You have a link in each song.

Global Issue.

Nowadays, one of the most important problems that we have to solve is the pollution in our world. Why is it one of the most important? Well, it is because the pollution affect all the planet. Actually, are we so selfish to destroy all the planet with our expensive caprices?
Now the pollution in the world is causing irreversible problems in the atmosphere. The atmosphere, who is essential for the life, is suffering big alterations which are causing a real problem for the human species, and the other living organisms, in fact on all over the planet. 

The atmosphere contaminated can to damage the health of the people and impact on the plants and the animals. But also the changes produced in the quimic composition chemistry of the atmosphere can change the climate, producing acid rain or destroying the ozone, and all of them are phenomenon with a big global importance and repercussion. 

Resultado de imagen de pollution in our world news
The means of transport, like a car or a motorcycle, produce a toxic gas which destroys the atmosphere.
But not only are this things damaging the atmosphere. The electricity, the medicaments, the cleaning products, or when we turn on the heating or the factories also damage it.

The atmosphere in a near future will cause a climate change, wich we are already beginning to notice.

The world is going down to 2 degrees, here this is not noticeable, but in the Arctic the ice is thawing, and the scientist warn that if we do nothing about it, in the future the ice will completely melt away.
Also the weather is causing problems in the seas, and some animals are having problems for adapt at the changes, and change their homes,and for this suddenly appear dangerous animals on beaches where they have never been seen.

Anyway, all these things are happen now, and will continue to happen, so if we can dream, and wish another different world, I wish a world without “climate change”, a world who respect the nature, and take care for the environment. 

Just with a little detail of one person throwing away and recycling wastes, is more than enough to care for and keep our great world safe. 

Saving Endangered Turtles

At what people think is the biggest nesting site in the world, tens of thousands of green sea turtles come to lay eggs. The turtles swim to Raine Island in Australia, but rising sea levels mean that water is threatening the island.
Andy Dunstan with Queensland Parks and Wildlife explained that one sea turtle mum is laying a clutch of 100 eggs, but the water will probably flood the eggs during the next high tide, and they will not develop.
To create space and protect sea turtle eggs from flooding, people reshaped and raised 150 metres of the island’s beach with great results; however, saving the turtles is not cheap or easy. A public partnership is funding this effort at about 8 million Australian dollars over 5 years.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Summary: At Raine Island in Australia, sea turtles swim for many miles to lay their eggs and follow the cycle of life, but our friendly turtles confront a problem with high tide. Andy Dunstan with Queensland Parks and Wildlife asosiacion and the help of the people of the island intnetan create space to help the turtles although it is not an easy and very expensive task

My opinion: For me is really confortable see the people working for a good reason and of course next to the nature to keep the balance of the whole ecosystem.Work together to help the animals is my opinion always a good source of Working for a good cause and next to the nature to keep the balance of the whole ecosystem Working together to help the animals is my opinion a quality that we should promote in all the other people that we have close..

Baby Needs an Operation on Her Legs

Victoria was born with a condition which means that she cannot walk properly. The little girl’s legs have no calf bones. This is an unusual deformity that only affects less than one in a million people.
Her parents were devastated. Her mother said that when she saw her baby for the first time, she was in a lot of shock. She was expecting a full, healthy baby because on every scan, the doctors said that she was perfect.

Resultado de imagen de medical help
UK doctors have now told Victoria’s parents that the only option is to amputate their little girl´s legs. Her parents are now trying to raise 350 thousand pounds to take their daughter to America for life-changing treatment to save her legs. This is an operation which is not available in Britain and must be carried out before she reaches the age of two. The parents found a doctor in the US who could save her legs. The treatment would include three operations.

So far, the couple has raised around a hundred thousand pounds. Friends and family are trying to raise the rest of the funds before June when Victoria turns two.

_________________________________________________________________________________

Summary: Victory is a little girl who unfortunately was born with a rare deformity and cannot walk without the help of his parents, many doctors wanted to amputate his legs because they could not find a solution, until a US doctor said he could help and save his legs, but the operation is very expensive. Now her family is trying to get the money to finnaly help the little baby Victoria.

My Opinion: In my personal I think that Victoria is just another case of the great problem of the Medicine today. I mean, the world right now is complety structured to help only those people who can pay for the service and finally nothing for the others. Medical help should be free and for all equally regardless of anything other than to always help.

New words:
check-up (an examination)
expect (wait)
amputate (take away some part of a body)

"Grow your own clothes" -Suzanne Lee (TED)


Designer Suzanne Lee shares her experiments in growing a kombucha-based material that can be used like fabric or vegetable leather to make clothing. The process is fascinating, the results are beautiful and the potential is simply wonderful.

Suzanne Lee recently joined the biotechnology start-up as its creative director.
"You can actually have a dress growing in a vat of liquid." Lee says. “Imagine leather that’s as lightweight and transparent as a butterfly wing or has the natural stretch of rubber” In nature, such qualities rise from the spontaneous assembly of biological cells. Manipulating cell cultures, scientists at Modern Meadow can customize a material’s strength, texture, weight, and elasticity. It’s an idea Lee hopes will take fabric—and with its fashion—in an entirely new direction.

“What’s fundamentally changed is our ability to look at materials in nature and say, with a straight face, that we can potentially make them with biotech,” says Dan Widmaier, Bolt Threads’s chief executive officer. I thing that could benefit fabric manufacturers, but more importantly, it could benefit the environment. Most existing materials have a significant downside: Cotton farming uses intensive pesticides, and synthetic fabrics such as polyester are made with petroleum. The roughly 14 billion square feet of leather produced from bovines annually requires millions of animals, consuming billions of gallons of water and pounds of feed a day—to say nothing of the methane emissions. Lee says of her fabric: “It use less water, hell yeah. Low energy, absolutely. Less chemicals, less dyes. Throw it in the garden when you’re finished with it.”
Lee founded a design consultancy called Biocouture in order to accelerate the development and the adoption of new biological materials
She made a collection of coats using the microbial cellulose: a bomber jacket, a denim-style jacket, a biker jacket. Although the designs were conventional, they looked otherworldly and slightly translucent. “Production from bacteria is so alien,” she says, that she wanted to create familiar garments to show it wasn’t so strange.
She grew the material at home, Lee exactly in her bathtub. As it dried, it becoming into a substance similar to the leather. But she found that it absorbed plant dyes more easily than normal fabric.
“This is potentially revolutionary,” she says, then laughs. “Oh lord, there’s a fashion designer trying to save the world.”

Step 1 - Preparation of the culture liquid.
This first step lasts about 1h.
1-Boil water
2-Let the tea infuse for 15min.
3-Dilute sugar
4-Let the mix cool down. (Temperature under 30º Celsius)


Step 2 - Setting up the SCOBY (Symbiotic Colony Of Bacteria and Yeast)
This step lasts about 5 minutes. It is very important that the liquid is below 30°Celius, before adding the other ingredients: - to prevent odor vinagar emission - not to kill the starter and SCOBY.

5- Pour the vinegar + add mix previously madre + The starter mix
6- Add your Scoby too.
7- Cover the tray and protect it from the light.

Step 3 - Fermentation ste
This stage lasts about 15 days. If you want a thin sheet, a Baby Scoby 5 min thick enough. If you want a fabric like leather, wait your baby Scoby do about 2cm.

8- Let stand 5 days, and Baby Scoby will start to grow.
9- Regularly spread gently the Baby Scoby to get rid of bubbles.

Step 4 - End of culture and start drying
You can dry your SCOBY on a board of wood or plastic, glass, .... According to the media, the end result will be different!

10- Hand wash your Scoby with soapy cold water.
11- Dry your Baby Scoby on a leaned wooden board.

Step 5 - Congratulations!
You can also dye, sew, cut, print on your Scooby! This is only the beginning.

Description of a person

In this description of a person I have chosen one of my classmates, well my shadow, because we are toghether in all the classe. I knew her two years ago, but I actually met her like a friend last year. Her name is Isàlia, she is an humanistic student and she loves arts, so she wants to study philology. Her current hobby is to play the piano and she actually loves her German lessons. By the way, she loves to study!
Resultado de imagen de foto silueta persona con lupa
Speaking about appearence, she's a casual girl, I mean her style is very comfortable and cute. The colours which she's used to wearing are neutral, not strong or bright colour, just neutral. She never wears handbag she usually wears a backpack or just she doesn't. 
Her outfits are actually simple or maybe sportive, she wears jeans and jerseys very normal jerseys, no stripes and no patterns, just with plain shoes. She never wears rings, necklaces, bracelets or earings, and if she does, it is so strange.

About her personality she's addicted to pizza and she's obsessed with the "diacriticals accents". She is a very normal girl, maybe very energetic too and hard working. She is the most generous person than I aver have the pleasure to me.

In my opinion, she is the classmate I have in class, she always helps me and she's very tolerant with me and finally she is an amazing person. It is a great and big support for me.

My style.



Technically and according to this quiz, my style is "Romantic", well looking at the pictures I think it is right, I agree with the result. The colour I often wear in casual outfits is white, well actually bright colours. And as you can see, the girls in the image wear light and special clothes. But I don't wear only clothes like that, I love black and long dresses, and skirts too, usually when I dress up to go out with my friends I use dark colours or almost always black (like the girl in the middle of the picture). I wear dark clothes, wide and big clothes, jerseys and scarves... Well, I think the most important thing that defines us, and our style is how we feel wearing this outfit, and the most important thing for me is to be comfortable and feel good about myself. 

These are outfits that I would wear on a normal day, simple and comfortable, I actually never wear prints or printed on the tops or stripes, I really don't like it. I love boots, scarf, and jerseys. I like old styles, maybe a little more carefree, but if I feel fine, all will be fine.

What it means to live alone?

Nowadays my parents are in a trip, right now they are in Cuba to see the complete family and they will stay there a few days, exactly 25.
I think it is so great for them because they are living  in Spain since seven years ago, and since then until now they have not seen their parents, my grandparents, or their best friends.

Well, what it the point of this? Actually the point is that my brother and I should be alone during those days and do the right things to survive to this new experience. Well the question is, what is it the right thing we have to do?

I have to confess at the beginning of this adventure I was really afraid and maybe a little frightened too, to pass thoses days without my parents however with my brother, and I have to confess too that he's a really difficult person, because he's so special and his character and ideology is so different than mine, he's a cold person, and I usually express all my feelings and thoughts, and he is the opposite person than me.

But, well it's not so difficult as I think. We have to do a lot of tasks in home, it is exhausting do all alone, just my brother and me. But we are carry on, we keep calm and we get along well, maybe much better than I thought.

"Jung Typology Test"



I agree with this "description" of me, yes, I actually think it is a description of me. I have to confess that I did this "Humanmetrics Jung Typology Test" with my big brother, who can help me seeing the external side of my personality and tell me what he actually things too.
 I'm a really Introvert person, I actually have a inner person inside, and I think I have a very spiritual side too. My brother says I'm more Sensing than Intuitive, but I don't think so, I'm a intuitive person who has to analyze the external world to feel good inside myself, comfortable, But it is not something to judge, it is just I like to meet the peolple with whom I am. Of course I'm more Feeling than Thinking, I think the logical thinking is not my strong point, my point is to connect with the people around me, and make them feel good and feel good with them too. Perceiving... well, I think in politicals o critical topics I'm maybe a fair person, the most, but with other thermes I always try to understand everyone and make them feel right. So, finally I think it is a right test of me, and I agree with that.

Man rows from Canada to Australia

British adventurer John Beeden has become the first person to row solo nonstop from North America to the Australian mainland. After rowing for 209 days, Beeden was helped with his first step onto dry land by one of his teenage daughters before being immediately greeted by Australian custom officials who wanted to check the rower’s passport details. The fifty-three-year-old had rowed for up to 15 hours a day to make the journey possible.

He had hoped to arrive by November, but weather conditions pushed him off course by more than a month.

“I didn’t think I could go on and had to dig deep… and getting pushed back hundreds of miles that you've already rowed and you have to row it all again.”

John's wife Sheryl had made the journey from Canada to Cairns with their two daughters, having not been with him since he left on his six-metre boat Socks II on June 1st this year.

"I kind of think it's like childbirth cause he says he's not going to get in another boat for a while, but I am sure in a couple of weeks he'll be having some other adventure, and I’ll have to restrain him a little bit."


Summary: John Beeden is a british man who is the first adventurer to row alone from Canada, North America to Australia. Especially John Beeden did it alone and he planned to arrive by November. But unfortunately the bad weather stops him. So the trip took him an extra month.

Eventually he rows 15 hours a day. So he rows dor 14,500 kilometres, and his trip took him 209 days. 

My opinion: I think that he is very brave and a peaceful man also. He likes adrenaline and adventure I guess. I respect and admire such people. Probably because I'm just not capable of such actions. I am afraid of water, actually not water, but the ocean scares me.  The greatness of the sea makes us feel so insignificant, maybe is that what scares us. But I think is fascinating that people are able to do something so special like share the most intimate of your person with a world as big as the sea.
