Daniela

I have had the honor to spend many hours with Daniela over two days. As I wrote in another article, she inspires me.. She has been so easy to travel with. She says things so simply and directly. She is so helpful, calm, open, honest and relaxed. I will miss her when she leaves tomorrow.Or maybe I will follow her to Buchrest. Ha ha.

I hope that some of the teenagers, like Mel and Mars, will be inspired by what she has done. When her book is published in English I plan to buy copies of it and send it to young people I care about.

Daniela continues to impress me. I have learned a lot from her and I feel sure she has also learned a lot from me. I don't meet someone like Daniela in every hostel. But it is a good feeling to know that she exists. Maybe if she exists, others are out there scattered among the masses who don't think or act like nearly everyone else.

Her story is worth telling. It is worth reading. Please support her in any way you can. What she has done is worthy of international recognition. She has taken her education into her own hands. She is writing this book because it is something she want to do. It is pure intrinsic motivation. The best possible kind. I have spent enough time with her now to see that she is real. I will be happy to see her again somewhere one day. And I am happier knowing she will continue to learn and teach from hostel to hostel and from country to country around the world.
