Overcoming the monopolised camping

Help Me Stay on the Road and Keep the Music Alive

Hi, my name is Brian Benjy. For the past 12 years, I’ve been traveling the world, living simply, and sharing music wherever I go. Recently, I found myself settling in a small corner of Spain — a place I’ve grown deeply fond of. I ended up staying for 8 months, the longest I’ve paused in one spot since this journey began.

But now, I’m back on the road.

For me, camping has always been a way to live freely and keep my costs low. It allows me to continue playing music, meeting people, and staying close to nature. Sadly, that freedom is becoming harder to come by. Across Europe, wild camping is being restricted more and more. Remote areas now carry “No Camping” signs, and official campgrounds often charge €25 or more per night — making it tough to travel long-term without financial strain.

That’s why I’m starting this fundraiser — to raise money for a roof-top tent for my car. With a roof-top tent, I can sleep safely and discreetly wherever I park, without needing to set up camp on the ground. It would give me back the flexibility and freedom I’ve lost — and help me continue sharing music and connection with the people I meet along the way.

If you’re able to support me — whether with a donation or by sharing this — I’d be deeply grateful. Every bit helps me stay on the road, live simply, and keep the music flowing.

Thank you for being part of the journey
