10 Life lessons surfing has taught me

1.Surfers are go getters: these are the guys and girls getting up before the crack of dawn to paddle out in frigid waters in the middle of the winter, to feel that rush of the water, the fresh air and the adrenaline surge you get whilst gliding down the silky smooth wall of a newly…

A Place to study

April 12 2014 While I was waiting for Tiff and Chad to do their Story Bridge climb I thought I would have a look around Brisbane and see if I could find a place to sit and study some Spanish. So I dropped Tiff and Chad at the climbing place, parked at Kangaroo point, took…
