Embracing Vagabonding and the Art of Living

The Allure of Wanderlust

In an ever-connected world where virtual experiences often overshadow real-life adventures, there's a timeless allure to wanderlust—a powerful urge to explore, to roam, to discover the world beyond our comfort zones. The term "wanderlust" encapsulates this longing for travel and the intoxicating excitement that it brings. In fact, it's so compelling that even Apple's September event of 2023 has adopted it as its theme, underlining the significance of embracing the art of traveling the world, just like the principles outlined in the book "Vagabonding: An Uncommon Guide to the Art of Long-Term World Travel" by Rolf Potts.

The Call of Wanderlust

Wanderlust, at its core, represents the innate human desire to venture into the unknown. It's the yearning to break free from the shackles of routine, to seek experiences that transcend the ordinary, and to live life to the fullest. For many, including myself, this longing for adventure has become a driving force, an unquenchable thirst that keeps us dreaming and exploring.


Minimalism and the Quest for Meaning

One of the core principles of vagabonding is minimalism. To embrace the art of traveling the world, it's essential to strip away the unnecessary and focus on what truly matters. This philosophy aligns with my personal goal of living compact and minimalistic, allowing me to prioritize experiences over possessions. The realization that life is about moments and connections rather than material wealth has been a transformative journey.


A Family Adventure: Our Kombi Home

Recently, my wife, our 1-year-old daughter, two Yorkies, and I embarked on a thrilling adventure in Itapema, Santa Catarina, Brazil. We made an exciting decision to purchase a Kombi home and start a long-term journey around South America and the world. Itapema, with its stunning beaches and vibrant culture, served as the perfect starting point for our wanderlust-driven escapade.

The Kombi: Cost, Comfort, and Benefits

The choice of a Kombi as our home on wheels was deliberate. It strikes a harmonious balance between cost, comfort, and benefits. It offers the freedom to roam while ensuring a cozy space to rest and connect with nature. Our Kombi home is a testament to the idea that you don't need a mansion to live a rich and fulfilling life; sometimes, all you need is the open road.

Learning from the Trailblazers

Our decision to embrace vagabonding and minimalism isn't unique. Throughout history, numerous individuals have chosen to wander, seeking their own paths and purposes. Paulo Coelho's "Lenda Pessoal" (Personal Legend) serves as a reminder that everyone has a unique journey to pursue. Aleister Crowley's philosophy of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" encourages us to follow our true desires, provided they do not harm others.


Wisdom from Visionaries

The principles of vagabonding also resonate with the teachings of Alan Watts, who emphasized the importance of living in the present moment and finding joy in the journey. The I Ching and the Tao offer ancient wisdom, guiding us to harmonize with the flow of life and nature.

Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27.

By
Muito interessante pessoal, jamais imaginei como se media isso! abraços, Ivan Saiba o que significa um prego 17 x 27. A nomenclatura dos pregos é algo bastante desconhecido da maioria das pessoas. Isso ocorre porque há muitos padrões no mercado. Existe uma equivalência aproximada entre elas, mas as usuais estão em Polegadas Inglesas x BWG, JP x LPP e ainda o padrão métrico oficial, mm x mm. Entenda o que significam estas siglas: Polegadas Inglesas: multiplique o número correspondente por 25,4 para ter o comprimento em mm. BWG (Birmingham Wire Gauge) e JP (Jauge de Paris): são tabelas próprias que indicam o diâmetro do prego. LPP (Linhas Por Polegadas Portuguesas): multiplique o número correspondente por 2,3 para ter o comprimento em mm. No Brasil usamos mais o seguinte formato: JP x LPP Onde: JP é o diâmetro, em JDP (Jauge de Paris) LPP é o comprimento, em Linhas de Polegada Portuguesa. 1 JDP = ver tabela abaixo 1 Linha de Polegada Portuguesa: 2,30 mm Conversao de Medi

25 Alan Watts Quotes to Teach You the Transformative Power of Insighs Pin A prolific author and speaker, Alan Wilson Watts is credited with the interpretation and introduction of Eastern philosophy to the Western audience. As his mother’s students were children of missionaries to Asia, Watts began to be fascinated by Asian art, literature, and philosophy; so in time, he learned Chinese and started to explore the fundamental beliefs and practices of religions and philosophies of India and East Asia. After a rigorous research in Zen Buddhism, Watts published one of the first books on the topic –  The Way of Zen  – introducing the burgeoning youth culture to it. Due to all the wisdom it embodies, Watts even suggested that Buddhism could be presented and taught as a form of psychotherapy, and not only as a religion. Alan Watts is the author of more than 25 books on various topics such as philosophy, Eastern and Western religion, natural history, semantics, cybernetics and the

Could Asia really go to war over these?

Could Asia really go to war over these? The bickering over islands is a serious threat to the region’s peace and prosperity Sep 22nd 2012 | from the print edition THE countries of Asia do not exactly see the world in a grain of sand, but they have identified grave threats to the national interest in the tiny outcrops and shoals scattered off their coasts. The summer has seen a succession of maritime disputes involving China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines. This week there were more anti-Japanese riots in cities across China because of a dispute over a group of uninhabited islands known to the Japanese as the Senkakus and to the Chinese as the Diaoyus. Toyota and Honda closed down their factories. Amid heated rhetoric on both sides, one Chinese newspaper has helpfully suggested skipping the pointless diplomacy and moving straight to the main course by serving up Japan with an atom bomb. That, thank goodness, is grotesque hyperbole: th

What is the best piece of advice you ever received to earn more money? Hector Quintanilla , Founder at DigitalAgeEducation.com Updated Jul 25, 2018 I just gave this lesson to my 10-year-old son. “Dad, to make money I will be walking our neighbors’ dogs. How much should I charge?” “How much do you want to make?”  I asked. “I think I could charge $3 dollars per hour.” “Is that all you want to make? Only $3 dollars per hour?” “No!”  he interrupted,  “I would love to make $20 dollars, but how could I do that? Do you think people will pay me $20?” I started to work on his mindset: “What are you selling, Son?” He stopped staring at me thinking,  “I’m not selling anything, Dad. What do you mean?” “Okay,”  I said,  “pretend I’m your customer. Sell to me.” He ran quickly to the computer and printed out a brochure he created that said: I WALK YOUR DOG $3 PER HOUR. CALL ME. “Here, Dad,”  giving me the brochure, “ will you hire

The Most Important Life Lesson From Andy Dufresne and The Shawshank Redemption Gen Cruz Stephen King is one of the most prolific novelists of our time. One among his finest works is a novella titled Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. The movie based on this story titled The Shawshank Redemption ended up as King’s most critically acclaimed film adaptation. It is hailed as the greatest film to never win an Oscar best picture award, and regarded as one of the greatest films in history. The novella is about a dispassionate big-shot banker serving life imprisonment in Shawshank Penitentiary, and his seemingly miraculous escape. The Story Andy Dufresne was judged guilty for the murder of his wife and her lover, a crime that at first seemed to the reader a cut and dry case. However, Andy was explicitly revealed to be innocent later on. Despite of this, Andy retained his stoic demeanor. He was angry for his predicament sure, but his feelings dictated neither his actions nor his attitu
