and corn ? There are more than 2000 types of potato. If what we eat, is what we are, eating the same thing, it brings us to be similar.

Isla del Sol, on Lake Titicaca

 

The local people met on the paths of the island were asking for an entrance fee, so we play with them rugby

I present you the cousin of Marie Antoinette. If statistics are correct, that about 1% of the population is crazy, as we hitchhiked more than 200 times, I infer that picking up strangers in your car, it doubles the probability that you’ll remain sane, and an interesting person. We met in general amazing people.

We hitchhiked for 2 weeks, all Northern Island. As NZ is very safe, we went a lot of times to 1000 stars hotels, if we were not invited to stay overnight to someone who picked up us, or who payed for us in a hotel.

I learned how to prepare bread in 97 seconds. I leave the dough for 12 hours, and then 40 minutes in the oven, in a clay pot. We tried with different seeds, but the one with olives and rosmarin ( from the garden )… the best ever !!!

this experience was in a eco-village on Waiheke  Island, near Auckland. The community is 18 years old.They use 100% solar panel energy, 100% rain water, and 80% food grown in there garden, or the ones of neighbors, dry toilet

We lived for 10 days in a community in the Amazonian forest, in Ecuador, see

We met very interesting volunteers in a ‘Spiritual’ community in Peru, in Valle Sagrada. The experience was so profound, that 2 weeks after we made some movies, check here:

Conclusion and resolution for 2017:

  1. have friends nearby
  2. be independent / self-sufficient –> stay out of the system ( which is cracking)

for this reason I put in place a site, to create a community. Please, have a look on:

play with it, crash it (a beer for each reported bug). In a few weeks, I want to make it public.  And yes, why not, to come each morning for the fresh olive bread.

Happy new year ! stay wise, calm, but act
