You may be richer than me,
but you will never be free like me
Hello.
I'm traveler @rbaggo
who is finding 'Humanism' in
'Capitalism'
The phrase 'finding Humanism in Capitalism' is the motivation of my journey. Many people have been educated that they have to pay for something, but I realized there are human factors among people, such as affection and help, which can't exchange with money. So I have tried to meet people through hitchhiking, couch surfing, and so on.
The phrase 'Rba Marks His Territory' is the title of my journey and Rba is my nickname.
One day, I saw the picture of traveler from Russia, who had tattooing countries where he has been on his back. I actually didn't want to have tattoo like that. So, I decided to fill color into country I have been on the map above t-shirt.
My trip started on August 27, 2014.
I have been 52(51+1) countries.
South Korea, China, Hongkong, Saipan(Northern Mariana), Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Singapore, India, Malaysia, Oman, UAE, Qatar, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, (Transilnistria), Ukraine, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Czech, Hungary, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, UK, Belgium, Morocco, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Italy, Vatican, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegvina, Montenegro, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia
I'm Hitchhiker.
I have hitchhiked 20,945.5 km / 429 times / in 36 countries.
I actually started hitchhiking for saving money for the first time. But I had met many kind people and it made my trip meaningful. Kind diver sometimes invited me and offered space to sleep and food also. And thanks to them, I got good memories.
Couchsurfing also was for saving money for the first time. But I realized meeting people was fun and wanted to cook our traditional(Korean) dishes for them.
One day, when I traveled with couchsurfing in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The guy who hosted me, has been to Korea many times and He was expecting that I could cook Korean dish for him. But at that time my cooking skill was not good, so I didn't cook something.
And then after I tried to learn how to cook from the internet by myself. It made me to get chance to work in Korean & Japanese restaurant in Denmark, Spain, UK and Poland as a cooker.
Anyway, hosting people and staying at local's place were all fun. It can give the chance to understand their lifestyle!
I have hosted people 43 times and surfered 106 times.
I have 3 T-shirts which is that people who shared memories with me(traveling with me), left message in their own language. For me, It has meaning of that I want to remember my travelmates.
T-shirts have written in 180 messages and 4 drawings / 47 languages.
