Hello,
My name is Tomas, and I am a founding member of a group of enthusiastic amateur travelers. There are six of us in total. We are friends, classmates, and some of us are even relatives now through marriage :-)
Some of us work as employees in industrial sectors, others make a living through small businesses, like our lovely gardener Dita. But we all share one thing in common - we are dreamers with our heads in the clouds, and we all love traveling above all else! When we started meeting regularly as a group, we enjoyed sharing our travel experiences, showing photos from the various places we had visited, and telling funny and sometimes bittersweet stories. Every time we agreed that we wanted to take a group photo at a particular spot, I felt a growing sense that we simply had to make this happen. Slowly, the idea for this project began to take shape in my mind.
My vision is to create a digital guide for people like us - passionate travelers and dreamers who would appreciate a practical manual to help plan their future adventures around the world with minimal risk. We want to embark on a true Journey Around the World! To take photos and videos from all the places we visit, supplemented with detailed information about transportation options, accommodation, dining, and much more for each destination. We plan this epic journey to last roughly one hundred days, which for us means a serious commitment - we’ll have to take extended leaves from our jobs for several months, and some will even have to quit their work. The other condition for realizing our shared dream is to raise enough funds by then. This will be the toughest challenge. Although we are used to traveling cheaply and none of us care much for luxury accommodation, this whole project will be costly simply because almost all of us will be without regular income during the trip. But the end result will definitely be worth it - a comprehensive travel manual created as a website that draws from a great adventure.
For the planned trip, we have set up accounts in three currencies that we intend to use for payments during our journey without the need for currency conversion - these are the US Dollar, Euro, and Australian Dollar, which according to our plan should cover a large part of our expenses.
Our vision will surely come true, but the magnitude of its success will be directly proportional to the generosity of donors who might have a little more than they need and who are willing to support the dream of us, young adventurers, who desire above all the wealth of the world, one shared experience that will forever bond our friendship and leave a legacy for all those who might one day undertake the same adventure and enrich our chronicle with materials and insights from the same or perhaps completely different places in our amazing world.
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank every individual or group who donates any amount, big or small.
With our heads in the clouds, towards adventure.
