About me:
I write a poem almost every day, and I play the guitar. This all keeps my heart pumping pretty hard. I love being outdoors, especially away from the city where I can fish, birdwatch, and listen to the world. A picture above shows the Platte River; I am playing in it with my children, brother, and nephews. It's not deep! Call me Phip, please.
I'm coming back to Costa Rica because I loved my time at EARTH, the students, my colleagues, and the landscape.
Hi Phip!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you again friend! how is everything going in Nebraska? I'm Joel and I from Nicaragua. I love to listen to music, specially live music and punk-rock music 'cause it has a lot of good energy! Lately I've found a new way to have fun and it is playing frisbee with some friends here at EARTH. I like plants production as well as plant physiology and soils management -the best!-
One thing that makes me feel proud of is all the knowledge I've reached since I am here at EARTH, I mean, this a unique opportunity of being a different professional with other goals for my lifetime. I got the priority of a more green development and the need to come back to my country and make a change for my community.
Well, those are my thoughts! hope to hear from you soon!
Joel
