Since a few years, it seems like every young human being needs to go on a travel after school, just to see the world, right before starting to study, getting a job, work, you know, just before starting it’s great life in this system, consisting of work, holiday, consumption, getting a house and a family, and then they die, without ever have been alive.
So, trust me, I’m not gonna let this be another travel blog about that crazy thing I ate today in Asia or about what I did the whole day in country xy.
I’ll try to write as less as possible about stuff no one of you wants to know, because I want this blog to be a source of information and impressions for those who want to know something about….
…Ecovillages, house projects, political actions, communities, in Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
I’m starting my trip at the 5th september in Madrid, from where I’ll go in direction of Santiago de Compostela, looking around for people living out of the system, visiting ecovillages, house projects….sometimes I’ll wwoof….then I’ll move down to Portugal, Morocco, and finally to the Canary Islands.
So, the most important thing for me on this trip is to discover places, where people try alternative ways of living, places, where there’s no repression or less repression and where people resist the government. Also, I want to use as less money as possible and support capitalistic structures as less as possible, means: Not buying stuff from big companies, not sleeping in hotels, but trying to couchsurf and camp, and also, to wwoof (= to help on organic farms, and substitutional you get a place to sleep and food), not using social media that collects your data, and so on…
However, I’m writing this blog to show people, it’s possible, to live out of the capitalistic system, to resist, to fight against repression, neo-liberalism, sexism, fascism, exploitation of nature and humans! And there are already thousands of us, living in anarchist communities, independent villages, living without money, trying so many different forms of living together, and if we connect, we are stronger than the actual system of repression, exploitation and hate, if we connect, we can change everything.
