a conscientiously cared budget travel guide
one city at a time
THE STORY?
Imagine being a travel addict who afraid of planes:
Tragic combination huh?
Well: I have to admit: I gave it a try: everyone was like "when you of the plane you are going to forget about everything" well: hm: not for me: 14 flights later, lots of crying (the crazy lady on the plane), 3 panic attacks per flight (yes I'm one of those), lots of money on a private philologist (yes, I tried that too) and the result is even worse than the first time:
1. STRESS
2. Tranquilizers (the NEVER worked)
3. Cheap wine
4. STRESS again
5. An almost broken arm (not mine: it wasn't my fault: he was sitting next to me during the turbulences... oh my!)
7. A few glimpses of the snowy Alps outside the window
8. and yes.. a little bit more of that STRESS thing again
SO ARE YOU GOING TO STOP TRAVELLING?
Me? Oh no no no! Not even close:
Not only I'm not going to stop travelling but I am going to create a travel planning site (is still a blog but check it out here!). Travel Tips, beautiful places, recommendations, culture, food, city guides, travel videos, more food:. And everything you need to know before and after you book your tickets for your next destination
SO YOU MEAN YOU ARE JUST GOING TO SIT HOME AND WRITE
ABOUT TRAVELLING?
Sitting? And no time for that!
After a numerous of flights and a strong pressure on my psychological health:
eureka!!!!: plane is not the only mode of transport: The earth is small and its trains, buses,
boats and cars are waiting to take you everywhere you want.
Well : I can't have it all: but I think that this is a great opportunity to take this site of mine to a next level: to create a travel community for every mode of transport, where everyone can participate by sharing their experiences (get prepared for my interviews!) focusing not only on WHAT I'm going to see/explore on my destination but also HOW I'm going to get there in order to receive the whole "travelling experience":
:along with vibrant photos, beautifully cared videos, local music, food recipes from around the world, the voices of you people (you are amazing individuals travelers) and everything you want to know or share.. everyone is invited
TRAVEL COMMUNITY SOUNDS GREAT BUT: EEEM... STILL: ARE YOU GOING TO STOP TRAVELLING?
I said no! And for letting you know I'm going to take the ultimate test: I'm going to be the first traveler of this community: I'm going to cross alone South Europe: one of the firsts interrail documentaries: me, my tripod, my cameras, my floral dresses, my roman sandals, boat hats (I'm a girl! Hello!), we are going to cross Europe, gathering experiences and interviews from each city!
Is this for sure?
Ok yeah: I'm going to have to thank Twitter, Facebook, my Blog, my Samsung mobile, my sister and my friends for helping my update my status during the trip... It's going to be a hard 15 days but I'm sure I'm going to be fine (and the documentary excellent!)
Why you want the money?
I live in Europe of crisis: I need this small amount of money in order to make my trip come true (my Interrail tickets actually) starting building my project idea and starting looking for potential investors.
I'm planning to promote my documentary professionally and trying to participate in various startups programmers. I have a good feeling for this one and I really need this documentary done!
