    Communities Based Around Creativity?

    Wassup? Here are some goals that I would like to see come to fruition. - Live with a community of creative individuals (Co-op, Intentional Community, Something Similar, etc. - as long as it's living communally with creative individuals) - Self Sustaining is a huge plus, even small-scale...

    Event 2018 National Rainbow Gathering

    So I see this info on both here, elsewhere, and on the main Rainbow Family website, so I assume it's correct. Not a week or two ago though, I saw that there was a different location that was in the western part of NC just above Georgia. Did it change? Was the original info I saw wrong? Any...

    Police/Forest Service Presence at Rainbow Gatherings?

    That book I mentioned in my first thread actually goes into the care taking of gathering sites. The rainbow family has an excellent reputation of restoring places to their original beauty, if not making the site better and cleaner than it was before. The whole rainbow gathering has a seed camp a...

    Police/Forest Service Presence at Rainbow Gatherings?

    You're totally correct, my bad! It's changed.

    Police/Forest Service Presence at Rainbow Gatherings?

    Hey! It's been a bit since I've posted on here. So I've heard about rainbow gatherings in the past, seen many people talk about them, and then heard a lot about them while spending some time at The Garden in TN. I've also just recently finished reading People Of The Rainbow: A Nomadic Utopia...

    1st Time Hitchhiking Ever....and in Nepal

    Lumbini, Nepal, December 2016. The supposed birthplace of Siddhārtha Gautama Buddha. I had been backpacking around Nepal for about 2 months at this point, mainly staying at a farm/ashram up above the outskirts of Pokhara. I managed to get down from the hills and mountains of Pokhara to the near...

    A day in La Paz, Baja California

    What a lovely story. Simple, and that's good. Simple pleasures are often times some of the greatest that can be found. It wasn't grand or heroic, but also far from ordinary, and obviously enriching and enjoyable. Your style of writing is also very pleasing. Seriously, well done. :)

    Direct Democracy

    I like the idea of putting academics (i.e. someone who has studied a particular issue on a scholarly level for an extended period of time) in a position of influence as a method of accurately and un-biasly educating the public. We need a methodology and form of action to combat the global...

    White privilege and reverse Racism

    When I think of the Caribbean, I think of luxurious tourism and poverty among the locals. Because of this, what countries in particular are you referring to? Surely there are exceptions to that generalization right? I'm just kinda uneducated and don't know where to find that kind of info.

    White privilege and reverse Racism

    I would point out that there are some parts of the US which are still fairly xenophobic, mainly the southeastern US. We've gotta remember the size of the US here, and note how much culture can change throughout as a result. The majority of the US is still okay with other races, but even then...

    Pacifism in Anarchism

    Social and political progress need all varieties of tactics executed in order to be successful. Neither outright pacifism or outright violence is going to be effective. Both must be utilized when each is called for. This is also why I can't stand people who are...

    Personal Philosophy

    Do you have a philosophy, thoughts, a meaning/purpose, or a line of reasoning that relates to traveling and your overall lifestyle? Akin to the question "why do you travel", but less direct and more general. What keeps you living the life when you're at a low point? What drives you? What's...

    Can woodstove

    I like this design. It looks practical and sturdy enough to work well with small stuff. Well done. If you don't mind me asking, what is the material used to make the big "X" part of the grill? By what means do you carry and take it with you? I like that a lot. It's a good way to think about...

    Greetings and Salutations

    Yeah - I've contemplated figuring out a way to take audio equipment with me where I go as a way to find work within my constantly-changing local area. I think I'd probably be helping run local shows or something like that. Maybe a festival here and there if I can find a way in and out...

    Greetings and Salutations

    TL;DR at the bottom for the lazy. What's up? Fuck putting my real name out on the internet to strangers - so I'm going by Roadie while I'm here I guess. Maybe I'll loosen up over time, who knows? I've done some backpacking. I did a 6-month trip to lots of England, Whales, Scotland, Ireland...
