New Commune/Family starting for UKers.

Hi there,

To travel to an existing, like-minded commune, that is already setup (like the one Oldwolf has, and has offered).. The journey itself we could do over a 3 month (or so) period. Enabling us to experience the full adventure on the way. The cost of this type of expedition are very minimal too. Ferries are cheap, and as long as we are prepared to travel, between stops, as a group, it should be no hardship, and would be a great time, i think.

It would be absolutely fantastic to have like-minded, comitted people alongside, people who are willing to just do it, and take a risk in their life, for the bettering of it .. I know there are many UKers here that feel the same .. so .. fancy an adventure ? Don't leave it too late .. join me ..

I am looking forward to any replies recieved, and to getting this plan on the go.

Roll on March .. I cannot wait !!

Peace out ..

 

well .. I am scrapping the above plan ..
I am gonna travcel on foot, around europe for about 3 - 6 months (nest summer), with my pet dog. I would absolutely love company to do this with. but I no longer believe that anyone here really wants to do it, unless they already aare ..

If anyone does wnna travel Europe, next May ... (on foot, no money) .. then let me know, but I do not think I will get any serious reply ..

peace out ..

 

Ummm, there are lot's of people in the UK "doing it", as you put it, relative to in the "US". Indeed, a look at the IC websites seems to show that the UK is much more busier in this respect than some states, although granted the UK's population is quite high. I don't think it's fair to say there are a lot of dreamers on here. Many on here have their own plans, or specific aims, and when they want to do it.

To be honest as you've gone from being all for it, to scrapping the idea completly in the space of a week and dismissing everybody on here as dreamers doesn't really bode well for a stable commune! Why not PM the peeps that specifically said they were interested in what you were doing and ask if they are really in a position to get involved with it?

Speaking for myself personally, I have a very specific commune idea, probably of limited interest to most people on here anyway, with no intention of implementing for a couple of years whilst I gather funds and plan. I like to post on here asking questions and advice, I don't expect to be labelled a dreamer because I'm not all set to go for it next week! Certainly I think, the time to talk about a commune is before you commit to it, otherwise you could end up in a right mess.

There were quite a few people posting in the other thread you refer to, but I can't say any looked like "definates" - though PM is a wonderful thing to ask straight up! Most people were saying it sounded interesting and would like to discuss it further, although now you've scrapped it I can't see anybody being that keen to get involved with your ideas now.

peace

 

ok .. thx for the .. 'constructive criticism' ..

first off ... you may have taken that fom my second reply, but that is not its meaning or intent .. but , you can judge me and hoiw i show my passion for this, however you wish, i will not do the same. I believe you may be a cool guy, because I really no nothing about you and can only presume that .. obviously thoguh you have misunderstood my intent in my threads .. thats your right, but please, do not influence others opinions by flaming me for mine ..

I am not scrapping the idea as such, but yes I am not now thinking of starting a 'new commune' becauwse obviously that will bne impossibler for me.. if thats because I cannot get my point across properly, without some people acting all high and mighty and deciding I'm a 'bad apple', whose ideas very few will partake in ..

well I'm sorry for that, but its always been that way to those that do not understand ones ideas ..

oretty sad really .. I can only say what I see.. and I will hold my hand up and admit .. I do see dreamers .. yourself included .. thats not a bad thing, dont get me wrong.. but I have already gotten past that stage, that is all, and I thought others here had too .. I was wrong, and I am sorry for that .. obviously some here will feel like me and i hope we can adventure together .. despite what it is being made to seem, *I am a cool guy and really nice person, who cannot articulate too well in words. Nice to see that its easy to sink even here .. .. but for the record .. I am going to travel and have not scrapped anything ..

peace out ..

 

hello again,

I feel I should post a reply a here, again,. as I am gonna be percieved as someone nobody will travel or do anythign with and that will really leave me limited, admittedly. I really mean no disrespect to anyone, that is truthful. I am not good with words, and as such have found it difficult to get across exactly what I mean. It is true I am ready to 'go for it' in a few months, or by next summer, the latest.. why? becxause I have to, else I am gonna die here .. and I do not want to die here by next year .. I want to do somethign and adventure with my life I reaslly am passionate about this and mean no illwell to anyone, who I may have offended with my careless words .. I was just expecting to find a fww ppl like myself that wawanted to get out of this country and see the world, as soon as possible, and with little to no funds.. I just wanna adventure, and soon .. thats all ..

I am sorry .. I will think carefully before I post in future, but I do think that it may be too late. If it comes to it I will set out on my own, for I have nothing to lose, and even messing up, hungry and cold, alone in a foreign country is a better prospect to me than staying in this ghetto (council estate), with no prospects and even less desire to partake in modern society .. I need out ..

peace out .. take care all.

 

My first response was perhaps a little harsh, as you seem okay really... well, except for calling me a dreamer - and I wasn't trying to flame you!

I think you've summed it up by saying "you want adventure and soon" - maybe being settled in a commune or even a nomadic commune isn't necessarily what you really want, but to get away from where you are now. Indeed, I think getting away from their existing life is the drive in many people who go to live in a commune... but also people who just travel too.

You seem very passionate or forward in your thinking, which can be an advantage not necessarily a bad thing. I wish you good luck!

PS: at the risk of turning this into a wild goose chase for you, maybe you could try posting in the "Personals" section of the forum. I've seen several people now post a simple message along the lines of "I'm heading off travelling up state in XYZ, any hippy chicks or dudes want to join me?" and quite literally within a few days a couple of peeps have replied full of equal enthusiasm and ready to go that week!
