A sincere request for your support

From my young age I had a strong wish to cycling around the world. When I was 12. I drew a map of tour around the world, which I still posses. I wanted to see if the world is round. Of course it was destiny, which lead me on quite different path in life. A job and big family was my every day reality. Decades of giving an unselfish love to family, awarded me with deep sense for people. Building home, planting trees, doing many things and taking care for my family didn’t stop my secret quest to disappeared from my heart. Occasionally we host some travelers with bright sunny faces (hospitalityclub), who reminded me on my childhood dreams.

Time passes so quickly and four of my sons are mostly grown up and independent. Finally time for taking care of my everlasting dreams has come.

Last year I was 50; and also by family encouragement, I started to take short tours around my small country, just to expand my long lasting family comfort zone and to train. All the time with thoughts on the grand tour.

Knowing people, nature and our Life, directly and to have a personal experience…before…
Meeting people on the road, we often speak about so misused word “Peace” and understanding for Earth needs. And people who knows me sometimes calling me, peace traveler. It was the beginning of PEACETRAVELER project. Under this name I want to take the grand tour.

Estimated Plan – 2010:
Preparatory tours: Tour the  Slovenia

Estimated Plan – 2011: USA – Hawaii trekking
Bled to Dubrovnik – Tour the Balkans

Estimated Plan – 2012: Santiago de Compostela
Scandinavia-England-Iceland-Canada-US-Patagonia-Chile-New Zealand-Australia-Tasmania-Fiji-Thailand- Himalaya-Karakoram-Turkey-Balkans.
The plan can be changed regarding the current situation in the world. Length of trip is not limited in time.

I bought special touring bike (Velotraum) 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 to damage the project.
I also present this project in form of art exhibitions which is partly documented on my personal art web page.

It is my greatest heart wish to start with the project - until I won’t be too old - so, I am turning for assistance with my sincere request.

For supporting PEACETRAVELER here are few options:
1. Support the artist and peacetraveler. With buying my art (www.leonardrubins.com) you will receive professional artwork with myriads of details and imagination. And I won’t have the uncomfortably feeling of getting something from you for free.
2. Support with various equipment, durable food…etc.
3. Support with sponsorship or discount on products.

For proposes of my tour I am preparing advertising material. I will wrote articles for various local newspaper about the PEACETRAVELLER story and equipment I’ll use, making advertisement for all potentially sponsors. On www.peacetraveler.eu I will create blog news. So your logo will always be seen or published in the contest of your requests.

In anticipation of your positive response I am sending greetings and …..godspeed.
