Location: Coatzacoalcos, Mexico

After another amazing day, I have to say Mexico is fantastic. Even if I am not done yet it was already worth giving it a try. Yesterday my Host, and his sister took me and the two Couchsurfer from Spain that stay here as well, deep in to the Jungle. We drove for about 3 hrs which 1.5 consisted of small dirt roads. But first we went to the "Apocalypto-Waterfall". After that we had a nice dinner at a restaurant on the Bay of Catamaco. from there we went to the Jungle. We stopped at a very remote place at a river with very clear water and had fun for 2 hrs Jumping from the Bridge in to the river. After that we continued another 30 min even deeper in to the Jungle to this absolute remote little lake between two beautiful waterfalls. We where hanging out for a couple of hours and jumping from the rocks in the water, or just sitting on the sun warmed stones hanging our feats in to the water. Its was such a nice place and it made me realize again how epic and unique the shit is that I am doing :) All these very nice people that I met on my way along with some of the most amazing nature I have ever seen. It makes me feel that even if I would die tomorrow I had lived my life. The feeling of freedom is so overwhelming and after I mastered hitchhiking in Mexico now pretty much everything seems possible. I guess this would be a nice time to thank my parents who in my eyes did a very good job. They gave me all the freedom i ever needed and let the "Tree" grow as it was supposed to be. I was never given any real boundaries and they never expected me to be "somewhat" they thought would be best for me. And even I had some rough and troubling times they where holding on to their agenda trusting in that I would go my way. An then in the moment before I moved out, they convinced me to go to the US right after school, where I discovered my sense to the diversity of life. Or as my friend Tina would say: "My Gypsy gene got activated"! Yes this might all be sentimental, but while I was sitting there in this Paradise like scenery I kind of reflected my life, like I might do once from heaven :) Anyway, I am continuously very happy about what the Universe has to offer me on my trip so far. Cheers!
