summary:

TRAVEL THE WORLD TO PROVIDE WRITINGS OF FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS

2014 round 1

Project idea

TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD TO PROMOTE PEACE HAPPINESS AND EQUALITY ===What is the problem you're trying to solve?=== I believe the world is a beautiful place and I believe that people that live in a modern day societies with simple luxuries get caught up in the riff raft of day to day being and don't take the time to expand there thought process to allow them to be the best possible person they can be, it keeps them close minded and limits there possibilities in life. n response to the current day media relations I find that the important things around the world are HIGHLY under publicized I think first hand accounts and perspectives need to be talked about in places the average traveler would not normally go to provide that perspective, and possibly enlighten readers with veritas, semantics, translation, oratory, history, and philosophy from around the world and possibly provide a more perfect union and liberty and justice for all around the world.

What is your solution?

TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD TO GET FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS AND PROMOTE PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING OF THE WESTERN WORLD

POSSIBLY GIVE PEOPLE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING THAT WE AS HUMANS ARE ALL THE SAME NO MATTER WHERE WE COME FROM AND HOPEFULLY MAKE THERE DAY, HOUR, OR MOMENT IN THERE LIFE A BETTER ONE. TO TAKE THERE MIND OFF THE DAILY TRAILS AND TRIBULATIONS TO HAVE A CONVERSATION, INTERACTION, HANDSHAKE, OR MEAL THAT BRINGS THOUGHTFULNESS, HUMBLENESS, TRANQUILITY FOR WHAT EVER AMOUNT OF TIME THE ENGAGEMENT MAY ENDURE.

Project goals

BE ABLE TO TRAVEL TO THE MORE UNCOMMON TRAVEL DESTINATIONS AROUND THE WORLD AND WRITE FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS OF THOSE PLACES IN THE 21ST CENTURY TO PROMOTE PEACE AND LET EVERYONE I COME INTO CONTACT WITH THAT IT IS ONE WORLD AND WE ALL BELONG TO ONE WORLD A TO REALIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE IN THIS ONE WORLD IS A BLESSING

Aloha WikiMedia

In response to the current day media relations I find that the important things around the world are HIGHLY under publicized I think first hand accounts and perspectives need to be talked about in places the average traveler would not normally go to provide that perspective, and possibly enlighten readers with veritas, semantics, translation, oratory, history, and philosophy from around the world and possibly provide a more perfect union and liberty and justice for all around the world. I believe the world is a beautiful place and I believe that people that live in a modern day societies with simple luxuries get caught up in the riff raft of day to day being and don't take the time to expand there thought process to allow them to be the best possible person they can be, it keeps them close minded and limits there possibilities in life. Life has endless possibilities if you put your mind to it and I believe I am a testament to that. I have had the whole world look into my day to day life for reasons still unpronounced to me, but honestly I don't care the reason behind it. But whatever the reason was I appreciate it whole heartily and am truly humbled in my current state of being. The euphoric energy that surrounds me transcends endlessly. I believe by just sitting down and enjoying a meal with people from around the world or being able to bring a different perspective it would be empowering to the world in its self. Also have a possibilty to help out those deprived of basic human needs. I am not a religious man but I do believe regardless of wealth, race, religion, creed, or sexual orientation that we are all people and deserve a common and simple respect of the fact that we are all apart of ONE WORLD & always will be apart of ONE WORLD. Its written in the stars.

So my proposal to WikiMedia is to finance myself and my husband to travel around the world, or myself and a team of people to document or make a documentary of places unknown not to bite the Anthony Bordain's show on CNN but to make a similar type documentary showing how the world lives in the 21st century. It would include writings, videos, and possibly main stream media relations. Reality/History. I believe my personality, along with my knowledge, continuity and ingenuity would make for some powerful, resourceful,and entertaining media resources.
