2012 here we come! No stopping us now!
2012 here we come! No stopping us now!
After a 24 hour stop-over in Miami, Mike and his crew set sail for Cuba. "We had a magical time in the US. It's sad it's over, but at the same time, it's great to start the next leg of the Pangaea Expediton. 2012 is going to be an exciting year with many new adventures to share with our Young Explorers. The Pangaea family is getting bigger and we are seeing the results of our hard work. Youths are now relaying together and setting up projects all around the world to help the environment. It's inspiring to see the motivation and energy that they have. Over the next year Pangaea will continue to create awareness amongst the youth as they are our hope for a better future."
The sunrise of the last day of the year taken from Pangaea. My favourite quote is "The Impossible exists only until we decide to make it possible."
It's time to do your "TO DO" list for 2012. Do not full it up with things you know you will never do! Then you will have time to do what you know you can do. Time is a Luxury ! Use it to enrich yourself with life experiences.
Calling all Young Explorers!!!
Join our community of facebook today!! We want to get your comments about the NEW YEAR 2012. What are your resolutions towards a greener and better planet?
This year has seen it's backside, like this polar bear diving. What I like about the end of something, is that it's the start of something new. We always tend to hang on to the known, because we are afraid of the unknown. Instead we should use the known to go into the unknown.
2012 promises to be an exciting year with many new and exciting projects happening within the Pangaea Expedition. Mike Horn and the Pangaea Team extend their heartfelt gratitude to their partners and suporters.
"Huge thanks to my partners who have stood beside me during the last 3 years of the Pangaea Expedition. They have opened up boundless opportunities for our Young Explorers who do not cease to amaze us with their motivation and passion to help the environment. Through tough times there is hope. Giving youth the keys to 'open the doors of life' is just one way we can get them to care about what is important to us – Planet Earth – the mother that feeds us!!"
A photo I took of an avalanche while climbing Broad Peak, made me think of how to approach the New Year. Lets take the world on by storm. Nothing can stop us!
I have been told that 2012 will be a difficult year. That is just what I like. I never wish for an easy life. I wish to better myself to overcome the difficulties! Only then will a difficult year, become an easy one!
Today is a day we can say 'Thank You' – a day to care and give. It's then we become richer! Imagine we can do it every day of our life.
