The Many Near Deaths of John Huizinga
My father has lived an unconventional life that has included a great number of near death experiences via a great variety of circumstances. His stories seemed unremarkable to me growing up, but as this adventurer enters his eighties I realize how precious and unique they are, like the man himself. Created and produced by Sharon Huizinga, John Huizinga and Matthew Tibbs

Episode 7
We join my father and his brother, George, on their travels through 1963 Mexico. In a time before google maps, expedia, air bnb and so on, they had a vague plan to get to Mexico City eventually, an open ended time frame in which to do so (in the end the trip was about 6 months) and a volkswagon bug they had driven down from Canada to take them there. This is the first of many adventures that took place along the way.
