I am currently journeying around Europe with my husband (a recent 80/10/10 convert, hooray!) by bicycle, camping in fields and living as cheap as possible. When our 3 months in Europe are over we hope to travel to the Philippines/Thailand or Brazil. We would like to find a fruit-friendly community or individuals to meet and share food, fun, friendship ( and maybe rent? lol).

Tired of being penniless vagabond.

Hmmmm.

WIth many travels still in our future, I feel anxious and tired.

For the last 5 months I have slept indoors on less occasions than I have fingers.

I have been bitten by insects more times than I think there are stars. I currently have more than 26 bites on my face alone. My husband says I look like I eat pizza because I have so many red dots. I have been bitten everywhere, the bottoms of my feet, the webbing between my fingers, my eyelids (swelling my eye almost… Continue

Worst case scenario

Grocery stores close on Sunday in Germany. Did you know that? We do now.

Last Sunday Rob and I were bicycling through the western region of southern Germany/northern France. The area is beautiful, long rolling hills of wheat and some kind of purple flower. We were enjoying the area very much. Saturday night we camped out on a river. We had cycled over 50 km over a small mountain range and were starving. So we ate all our food except for watermelons, which we saved for breakfast. The nex… Continue

I rode over 300 kilometers in the past 6 days

Last Friday my husband and I purchased used bicycles for 70 euro a piece and hit the road, travelling southeast from the charity shop in Eeklo, near Brugges Belgium. We detoured north to Terneuzen and then headed south through Brussels to Luxembourg, where we are now. Our bikes are probably older than we are, they have only 3 speeds but they can fly down a mountain (and poke up the other side). So far we have only walked up one hill; that was coming out of Huys and was quite steep. Today we conq… Continue

Exercising while traveling

After being a runner for 8 years, I thought I would have figured out how to exercise while traveling. As a runner, all I need is a pair of shoes and a sports bra, right?

it's turning out to be a bit moe complicated than that. Maybe its just our travel style...driving around in 1994 toyota, sleeping when its dark where we can find. Last night I slept in the grass behind a McDonald's in Texas. the night before that I slept on the side of the road in New Mexico.

A lot of timse we… Continue

Feeling much better

Tomorrow I leave on my roadtrip adventure!

It's been mostly nice staying with the folks. We've been here nearly a week. I haven't stayed with them this long since I moved out two years ago.

It was really weird coming home and seeing all the bad vibes and unresolved issues that I wasn't aware of when I lived here. I totally felt a loss of identity and a sense of bewilderment. After posting last time and reading all the wonderful comments I felt a wonderful sense of re-centering… Continue

Lindsay,
Sorry for the delay.

I would certainly recommend travelling along the Black Sea coast. It should be easy enough to get sufficient fruit (especially when one is committed enough) and the wild nature in the northern mountains is simply fascinating.

My hometown is Artvin, the north-eastern edge of Turkey, and to me, it's the best place in the entire country.

I can say this: If you want a vacation of lots of sun, swimming, surfing and stuff like that, choose the southern shores. They're just too "civilized" for my liking down there. If you want wild nature, lots of rain and mud, wild fruits and vegetables, and incredible views, the northern coast is for you. If you want culture and all that stuff, Istanbul is the way to go, or if you want a more middle-eastern stereotype experience, visit the south-eastern areas.

In Turkey there is one community eating partially raw phone nr. You 0099 0 2668963392 . Its an island somewhere away from touristy area , not sure how you can manage to get there... email is: peter.jesse@gmx.de

In Spain theres a few communities yes, but your closer to Portugal: Check out http://haliotis.net/ and bgerken@gmx.net ask them if you can work-exchange for food and accomodation.

balta at communidadcruda.com is also near you, ive been only for one day didnt like the vibe of the place as much. so i left lol... http://www.ecoforest.org/ is another one. but theres not much going on. maybe you can care take it.

Have you had any wild cactus? Figs should be in season right now too. Theres many abandoned fruit orchards your way. From Cadiz all the way down. Maybe you decide to hang in there. Will see to send you more contacts in case.

Take care and hope you find the place ... you wanna be :=))

I'm so glad that I met you and Kairos! You are so very lovely fruity people. :) I'd love to meet you again in SE Asia later this year. Maybe we can find an Ashtanga Yoga school and go running etc. together?
Lotsa love,
Jas

Lindsay,
I am sorry, but I'll be traveling a lot until December this year, and so I can't make promises.

But I would be glad if you could let me know when you're here, because I might just be here too. It's just not certain.

Hey Lindsay,
I think I am going to extend my tourist visa here in the Philippines this afternoon, so yes I will most likely still be here throughout September. I've never met such friendly and hospitable people anywhere else. Tonight I fly Davao=>Cebu and I'm going to check out the beaches and resorts (free camping) and see how the fruit supply is. Darrick has done most of the legwork for us and Davao City is definitely the place you want to be for durian(currently 30-50 pesos per kilo) but for a beach bum like myself I prefer less of a city and more of a small fishing/beach town. I know there are a handful of other 30baders considering Davao or already have tickets booked for late Aug-Sept, and I would love to return if we could set up some sort of retreat. I'm sure we could find a studio apartment super cheap in a good location. Keep me posted on your travel plans.

Hi Lindsay! My experience in Asia has been pretty limited so far as I tend to like to stay in one place as opposed to travelling everywhere. So far I've spent two months in Penang in the Teluk Bahang/Balik Pulau area for the fruit season, which unfortunately is coming to an end. It was great but it's only worth going there mid year as that's when the Durian, chempedak, and rambutans are happening. Not much local fruit the rest of the year for some reason. I also went to Lake Toba, Sumatra but only ended up staying a week as I found it a bit too chaotic and polluted for my liking and fruit was not that abundant. I'm on my way to Northern Thailand now so will let you know how I go there!
Cheers,
Stephen

Dear Lindsay,
It's such a pleasure to meet you and Rob at Frutkifest. Both of you look very well, healthy and vibrant. I guess that little bowl of white rice didn't do much harm. I wish we had more oppotunity to talk about many things. Do feel welcome to contact me.
Wish you have wonderful journey all the way.
Lots of Love, Chang-yu
