Making preparations for the big bike trip
Karel’s letters written during travelling
Madman hits the road again. I’m also saving up for a GoPro Hero3 black, top of the line, super video quality, low light capabilities, can plunge 60m down. Strap to head while riding or diving. Hope to frequently upload little video clips, as I drive slowly through busy markets, or conceal it in a hand bag while strolling. To get notified of uploaded videos, as I started to do that weekly, filming a lot of the local music scene here, or interesting circumstances, might be best to subscribe to my youtube, or through the usual suspects (facebook, twitter etc.). Sis has gotten busy with some work and won’t be able to resume editing the book until around October. That will wrap up Bulgaria and we can start moving into Asia. Trying to promote it according to various suggestions, mostly like a hobby but the thought that I could derive an income by traveling means that I can glean myself away from the computer and focus on local charities, which would make the story that much more interesting. Imagine, getting paid to interact with locals while traveling – wow. New jam music scenes have sprouted all over, as the locals are learning it is a good way to draw in a crowd, which has enabled and motivated me to play the viola more. Difficult instrument and a long way to go, but I see that better playing would facilitate the traveling. People often ask whether there is a small guitar in my case. When I say viola their eyes bulge open in fascination, and soon enough I’m playing at a wedding somewhere in the country. And once you network like that, soon enough you’re suggested an itinerary of great places you just have to visit. Float around like a leaf, with a general plan. My general plan at the moment is to take a boat to the diver’s island just north, Koh Tao. Check that out for a few days and continue northward, halfway up the coast to Bangkok. From there loop through the mountains west around Bangkok, squiggle through Laos and Cambodia to arrive in North Vietnam by the winter. Where I’m told the people are super duper nice. Stay there until spring and continue on through China, Tibet, Nepal, India back into Thailand and the rest of Asia before continuing on to ozzie land. More details at http://travelgoof.com/south-east-asia-motorbike-tour.html, which is my sales pitch to various companies for funding (Red Bull as financer, or gopro etc. for free goodies). On another note, for promoting the book, sis suggested I start a sort
of blog of unique, cultural things I come across during my journeys. Little
tidbits by day or week that might shed some insight onto the different
perspectives viewed on this beautiful planet of ours. * * * Island Hopping in the Philippines * * *

Have started making preparations for the big bike trip, which I hope to
launch around end April, assuming I’ll have everything ready by then.
Such as four waterproof big bicycle bags which I plan to strap to the
sides, but it’s been more than 20 days and I’m wondering if someone in
the postal chain found themselves an early Christmas present. Have been
discovering the wonders of ebay and amazon, but usually they send with
a tracking code. That would set me back some $300 bucks and potentially
delay things, unless I can convince the company to send me some new ones
in exchange for promotion.
