I have finally traveled across Europe to one of the most southern parts of Greece and I have now finished off what I would call the first chapter of my travel, only to start a new.
I will be living on the permaculture farm for the next 5 months, helping the people here with projects for creating a self-sustaining lifestyle by living off the lands surrounding us.
There's many aspects to what this creations is all about and to be quite honest i have not completely grasped it myself yet. Everything from taking care of nature to building a healthy community within.
What will I be writing about?
I want these episodes to be about my ''new'' life in Greece. I want to write about things I learn, document how we do it and share this very unusual lifestyle with people who's curious to Explorer alternative ways of living.
The project is run by a man called Costas and mainly volunteers coming from all over the world to help out. Right now we have two from Argentina, two from Canada and one from Isreal.
What does this have to do with your bike trip?
My bike is my transport, a tool to get around the world in a slow pace to see and experience what I pass. But i also want my trip to get deeper than just passing by. I want to see how it feels to live other places than what I know from home. I find this project here on the farm a perfect way to experience just that. I'm sure it will be just as big a personal adventure to stay in one place for a while and when the time is right, I will be hitting the road again.
What else on the list?
Everything that this places had to offer i will be sharing, whether it's exploration of Greece, valueable life lessons or on going projects on the farm. I'm sure I will be doing a lot of bike trips on my free time(already had a trip to see the temple of posedion!)
So far there's already so much I want to write about but I will have to manage myself a bit and show it in structured posts that focuses on one subject. I hope you guys will be following me on this new kind of adventure and see where it will lead.
In the next episode i will give a introduction of how the farm looks like, how I live and how the farm on a very basic overview functions.
See you soon!
