Karel’s letters written during travelling

In Thailand now, southeast of Bangkok a bit. That city was too much of a zoo for me and glad I escaped.

“I continue to have you in my prayers for your safety and that you will have just good experiences, so God will be w/you and protect you against all evil and keep you safe.”

Speaking of which, I JUST discovered a great thing that has greatly improved my life here so far: a restaurant down the road where I can get a mobile signal (for internet). The place where I am staying at does not have a signal and the guy forbids beer, garlic, onions, eggs, hot spices and who knows what else. But it is an interesting concept and I think it is a good cheap and safe way to travel across Asia (networking with organisations to work for a few hours a day in exchange for room and food). So my smarts and strategy is keeping me safe, but definitely with my travels over the years I have seen God's hand in my safety and I try to thank and praise Him as often as possible.

On another note, within the last couple of days I formulated some potential strategies for Asia. I like how I came here with uncertainty but that very quickly things are opening up for me. The people are certainly nice. Anyway, two options are on the table at the moment: get a bicycle, some sort of portable solar panel, maybe a tent, and bike it across Asia, perhaps mostly along the ocean so I could go swimming after getting sweaty; and the second is to build some sort of tree houses in the rainforest and create an eco-tourist place which would eventually generate revenue, combine it with permaculture in the jungle, and use it to educate tourists about harmony living with nature. Already have one place that has agreed and that would be totally cool.
