When I was ten years old, I drew a map of tour around the world, which I still posses. Wanted to see if the Earth is round. Maybe it was fate that led me on quite different path in life. A job and big family was my every day routine. Decades of family living awarded me with deep sense for people. Building home, planting trees. Despite, of doing so many things to contribute to growth of my family, The quest inside me did not disappear out of my mind and heart.

Occasionally we host travelers with bright sunny faces, who reminded me on my childhood dreams. Time passes so quickly and my four children are mostly grown up now. Finally time for taking care for my long lasting dreams has come. Soon, I started to take short tours around my small country, just to expand my comfort zone and to train. All the time with thoughts on the grand tour. Knowing the world and see the nature, directly.  To have a wider, personal experience of life…before inevitable comes.

Hangout out with people on the way, our conversations often leads to a very abused theme on “peace and love”. Our common intention is only to gain a better insight and awareness of our Mother-Father Earth. I discovered that I do not want to stay introverted dreamer, waiting for the world to come near, but rather be open minded adventurer, who wants to be there, where things happen and want’s to be a part of this spectacular game called life! This was a dawn of  Art of Peacetraveling. In accordance with this mission, I want to start my final journey.

Estimated Plan-part I. Tour the Slovenia – “Expanding of personal comfort zone” Bled to Dubrovnik – Tour the Balkans
Estimated Plan-part II. Slovenia-Swiss-Spain-Santiago de Compostela – “Fin del Mundo”
Estimated Plan-part III. Scandinavia-England-Iceland-Canada-US-Bolivia-Patagonia-Tahiti-New Zealand-Australia-Tasmania-Fiji-Thailand-Himalaya Karakoram-Turkey-Balkans.

This plan can be changed regarding the current situation in the world. Length of trip is not limited in time.

My custom made touring bike is Surly LHT and for years now I am buying necessary equipment for tour. This project, however, is not cheap! I am a modest man but regarding the choice of equipment, I did’ t allow any compromises in order to interrupt the project. I also present this project in form of art exhibition which is documented on Digital Art web page.(www.digitalartwork.org)

It is my greatest heart wish to start with the project – before I won’t be too old – so, I am turning for assistance with my sincere request. In anticipation of your positive response I salute you and wish you a nice life.
