Perdevara, 2-wheel activism and why i support him

I decided to write my second post in English. I think Victor's followers are mostly billingual but also, makes it easier for me TODAY. I'm back in Romania for the short half-term break and tomorrow will send my laptop to the service so that doesn't give me a lot of time for rich posts.

I was very excited to see the first donations on the PayPal and realized that people living abroad (not in Romania I mean) have the possibility to donate a much bigger sum, so will probably wait one or two weeks more before my own donation. It won't come alone, so boyfriend and a couple of friends joining. I really hope this will happen soon!

Also, I have spoken to Victor and thought about contacting some nice small companies (bikes, tourism etc.) and see if they can help! I was actually first thinking about Bicicletele Pegas (click here on the name), and will send them a post today, so if anybody has any suggestions, we'll be more than thankful! :D

I was also thinking about why I love what he's doing and honestly support him so I will share this with you. Oh and there are soooo many reasons!!! It's got to do with love, the world, knowledge, people, health, activism, solidarity, exploring and generally, with what life should be for all of us.

Firstly, I think he's brave, and in his search for freedom, he's actually as dependent on the others as we all are. The beauty of it is that he's dependent on strangers, on people he meets on the road, on people who give him lunch today or host him for a whole week. And thinking this way, aren't we all just as strange as we are friends or colleagues?

Secondly, he chose to ride the bike. No hitch-hiking (or as little as possible), no driving, no  trains. Well, that's SPORT, that's energy, that's his OWN energy that moves him, from one place to the other, sharing and then gaining and then sharing again some of that. That's a strong body, that's so many difficulties to go through, that's incredibly cold and terribly hot, that's tiring, that's risky, that's lonely, that's independent! That's his own rhythm, that's his own way. Oh yes and I LOOOOVE THAT!

I KNOW HIM! And of course I support him because I know him. Never met him though, that's funny. We talked a lot about Poland, a few years back, about plans, about volunteering, about EVS, about hitch-hiking, about the connections you make on the road and about stuff. Everything online. I was in Bucharest, he was in Cluj.  I live in London now, he's on the road. We're both tripping in different way, but we haven't stopped travelling. And yes, we're not tourists, we're travelers. Ohhh YES!


Also, he's carrying that huge fucking flag that has written ROMANIA SAYS NO TO FRACKING on. And I don't even care what your opinion is, but he's spreading a MESSAGE he believes in and he's confronting people from the first second and he's fighting his fight and he doesn't give up. So that's WHY I support him.

Well, I also support him because he writes. And he's such an honest writer, a bit of a poet, a bit of a child. Raw and charming. It takes you there. It took ME there. I want him to write, to KEEP writing. I want him to be in touch, not all the time, but I love the online, I love the sharing, I love travelling and I want to know about all that. Or at least a bit of that. It makes me plan and it makes me keep on going. Further and FURTHER. To the next country, to the next CONTINENT and damn, to the next UNIVERSE, because all these people and all these places...They're not on this planet. Do you ever get this feeling? Sometimes you don't need a visa to get there. You need a VISA! You need a VISION VISA!! You need a SUPER HOT BOILING NEED FOR FREEDOM AND LOVE FOR ALL BEINGS AND PLACES AND A VISION FOR LIFE NOT BEING WHAT THEY SAY IN HIGHSCHOOL BUT WHAT THEY SAY IN NEIL GAIMAN'S BOOKS AND YOU WANT TO FIND ALL THAT AND LIVE IT LIVE IT AS YOU WANT WHEN YOU WANT WITH WHOM YOU WANT!!! And damn, I TOTALLY SUPPORT THAT!
