Another great stay with some more great couch surfing hosts. Diana and Daniel even gave me my own room! We passed the time eating pizza and talking and I must say that the highlight of the night for me was watching a movie called 'Berserk in the Antarctic'. Changed my life. Perhaps? Yet to be seen. But here is what it was...
One guy's dream and the usual story. His dream met with mocking looks of disdain. Surrounded by a society full of strangers and friends telling him his idea was foolish, he found himself faced with people telling him to get back in touch with reality. Calling his dream impossible. Telling him his idea was crazy.
Crazy? His reply to them was that working 9-5 each day and merely dreaming “crazy” things was crazy. To follow a dream was not crazy. To follow a dream is to live. So he followed his dream. He went berserk in the Antarctic...
Story: Walking beach side he found himself faced with the wreck of a sailboat. It allowed him to dream. Awakened in him a long held desire. Gave him new focus. Then and there he decided that he would sail. It was cold in Norway and so he would sail somewhere warm. Chase the warmth. Chase his dream. And so he began to restore the boat and learn to sail. Teaching himself as he went. And then he set off for South America. And as the title tells, then on to the Antarctic.
He had a dream. He didn't let anyone tell him otherwise. He wanted it, he chased it, he did it.
