It feels great to be on my way down here in Mexico. This country has offered me a comfortable substitute for home for the past five years. As a pilot, I have been very fortunate to fly Lear jets down here weekly and have encountered many fascinating and picturesque locations in this beautiful country. The food and the culture have helped remind me of home as well.
I’m already receiving lots of press down here, thanks to my new hero Sergio Cuadros from TV Mexiquense. Within a few short hours he had five television stations lined up to show support and learn more about our mission. I also want to thank the people of Mexico for supporting our independence – they are far ahead of their government’s recognition of Kosovo so far.
I am also grateful my new friends – Noa Rocha from Radio Zacatecas, his brother Arturo and family and a very inspirational man, Alfonso ‘Totto’ Gina from Misantla, Veracruz. I am blessed to learn about such amazing human beings in this world. Totto’s proverbs are timeless and his effect on me will not be lost. It is not often that you meet someone that triggers you to view the world from a different perspective. I am left feeling that more people should live their lives as honestly as he.
Finally, to my friends at El Diario newspaper in El Paso, TX and Cuidad Juarez, Mexico – you have been such a support to me and were instrumental in encourage me to start this mission. Thank you for helping me change history!
