Interconnected traveling

	1 of August in Luxembourg is quite a thing with an enormous exodus of people leaving the minuscule country for warmer climates. Be them involved in sustainable development or the local Ministry of Sustainability people seem to get fed up with the wonderful climate that a food producer would consider golden (maybe less so this year with the preceding spring drought but rainfall has been plentiful ever since) and just pack up and leave.  Of places to go to once one gets fed up and small reflections on why this building up of stress that compels us to go half way across the globe to find some inner peace, ways to deal with this stress locally (in one's mind or better yet outside of it) and a small feature from a fellow hitchhiker, busker and friend, Diogo who talks about Couchsurfing ( http://couchsurfing.org ), hitchhiking (http://hitchwiki.org ) and with whom I discuss of other travel tools such as wwoofing (http://www.wwoof.org ) and helpX (http://www.helpx.net ) and a traveling cyclist support community (http://www.warmshowers.org ). I will go into a bit of detail with different summer events taking place in Europe (because it doesn't make sense to fly to a different part of the world when there is so much work to be done on the old continent and with the airplane pollution increasing because of the thrill and answer seekers) where one can be a bit more involved than just your regular Martini sipping siesta on some Spanish beach. For a detailed list of these events that require a balanced mind to begin with and not a drone seeking a temporary escape route from the rat race you can find out more on the following link: http://eyfa.org/eyfa_newsletter/summer_events Also for a change I will recommend Vipassana as a method of inner travels and exploration, a territory within, the last "place" to be fully explored, mapped and experienced: http://www.dhamma.org/en/vipassana.shtml
