steemit: let's travel (and change) the world together

in #new8 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemit,


This is us: Vanessa and Norman (both 23) a low-budget traveller couple with the will to change this world for better while creating art and enjoying ourselfes. Today #berlin #warschauerstrasse

We have already travelled several countries before, sharing lots of art, music and laughter with the people we met. Now both of us have the feeling that steemit should from now on be part of our adventures, because it provides a fair platform for sharing our experiences and discoveries. And we want to be part of the worldwide mutual aid system we think steemit might become. By the way, read #kropotkin!

Travelling is a lot about sharing and exchanging. We like to go to the unknown and hidden places to exchange knowledge, believes and skills with people all over the world. On steemit we want to share these things with you so everyone can benefit from them. It has also to a lot to do with trust since we are giving our experiences freely to the world -like jumping into a strangers car when you are on hitch-hiking next to the road.

Vanessa is very interested in philosophy, literature and arts. While studying she missed the practical experience of philosophy. Her creativity was blocked and she got depressed. After 3 semesters in classrooms without windows she decided to breathe new air and go to India and do a Yoga-teacher training there. When we met in October 2015 at a jamsession in Berlin she was already planning her trip in February 2016. We are soulmates, so this was no problem.

Norman quit his job in summer 2015 and left #germany to travel #morocco. Back in Berlin he started creating electronic music with Ableton. Norman could join the trip to #india after a view weeks with the money he earned with a housekeeping job. In India he learned ayurvedic massage techniques and some basic tabla playing. We are both eating vegan since we are disgusted by the industrial meat- and milkproduction.

We are very interested ethnobotanics. Nature provides a lot of unknown or even prohibited plants which are able to heal, enhance the consciousness or are simply healthy and tasty. We want to learn more about organic farming and share our ideas about a world without borders, in one word: anarchism. A lot of people already practise leaderless and free life in balance with nature, which is connected to their spiritual believes.

We like the idea that by sharing things with steemit and getting responds we are able to bring your ideas and questions directly to the people surrounding us, wherever we are. This is how in little action groups all around the planet we can work on healing ourselves and nature.


Vanessa is a certified Yoga teacher. On this picture you can see her protesting peacefully on 1st of May in #berlin.

While traveling we want to introduce others to steemit. It can be a nice opportunity to share individual knowledge and experiences for people everywhere without imprisoning their potential in economical borders- they can create an income and make the world a better place at the same time. That is what we want to do as well. It's all about connecting with the universe, with other fellow natural beings and with our most inner self. shanti, shanti, shanti

Since we are very low in budget now, we have to stay in Berlin for the next 2 months. Then we are more than happy to go far, far away... Hope you are interested in our adventures now. Comment if you have any recommendation where we can go to learn we would be very happy. Also if you have got any questions or anything nice you want to say -go ahead :)

**Lots of Love to all of you

I'm glad that there are people like you two out there spreading joy in the world. I wish you a lot of success on Steemit, so your travels become easier. Perhaps you have some interesting anecdotes you'd like to share.

This is a story that happened to us about 2 weeks ago. In the evening Norman and me were strolling around at Treptower Park in the east of Berlin. We went to see the Sowjetisches Ehrendenkmal because I have never seen it before and since I work in a factory full time at the moment I was in need of breathing some fresh air. We stayed there for some hours singing Mantras and every song we could remember. A lot of people playing Pokemonn go were passing by but in the later night we found ourselves in a antinational gathering of lovely people. Then some late tourists came to see the dome on the hill we were sitting on and we discovered that there was an echo inside. Norman and me started singing a mantra into the dome and the sound was fantastic. We have not yet met the others again but we exchanged very good vibes, some hash and longpapes :) This is how singing joyfully can bring magic to an after-work evening :) Maybe we'll do a recording of the voices inside the dome some day :) Thank you for the support. It can be very difficult to finance travelling and since I took a loan for studyin I have to stay at in Berlin for the next two mounth even if my heart is crying for new skys :) But in November we will leave :)
