One little notice: it was quite a puzzle for me to find a PDF version to get into. I didn't think that the picture is actually a clickable e-book! :D Probably there should be an additional button like "Read PDF book" as the last one in the buttons row.

It was puzzling because some people are offering their books for a donation/free fee, like you can enter "0" on a platform and get access to a book - so I thought that a BuyMeACoffee had that option... xD Confusing a bit.

DLed on my reader, will share my review after a read, if will still be alive xD

Ok, thanks for letting me know, we'll add a button or explanation there then 🙂

Shit I hope you are okay. Let us know if there's any way we can help you escape 😬

Wooaa! This day has come! 🥳 My sincere and heartfelt congrats to you, Sasha! Amazing work! I am touched and pleased to help you out on the way, full of bumps and obstacles, it seems 😉 As one of a few who was honored though not to read entirely, but to get familiar with a few chapters of this magnificent book, I can only say that it is 100% must read and must become an unique shiny gem of somebody's book shelf or eBook collection 😌 At least mine - for sure 😄

And the last days of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees: videos.trom.tf/w/rGU6BudRpmaNb…

I actually made it to the end! 😁


GR 11 Transpirenaica - the END


The last two days of my ultra-cheap/ultra-heavy thru-hike! It took me 61 days to walk from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic across the Pyrenees mountain range (840 km, 39,000 m elevation change + several extra side-treks and peaks). Most people do it faster but my backpack weighed about 20kg and I weigh less than 50, so it was difficult! But to many people’s surprise, I made it to the end! Whew.

Thank you for watching!

My book will be available here soonish: www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/book

See you!

Fantastic presentation by @Tio : videos.trom.tf/w/6R92qduTeGHma…


ZDay: How to Grow a Saner Society. A Lifetime Adventure (improved)


On 26th of August, 2023, we presented TROM at the annual ZDay event in Prague. This was the last ZDay after a decade long of making them every year.

Our presentation was focused on showcasing in a unique way how our society works and how trade is at the core of most of our issues. In the second half we focused on the positive side: how we and others create trade-free good and services and why this can become a tsunami movement if more of us engage into it, in a decentralized way.

We put a lot of effort into creating a simple narrative and interesting slides with animations, to make it all more fun and easy to understand.

This was the first presentation for Tio and we hope more to follow.

--- First few seconds still have a bad audio ----

GR11 thru-hike, Day 57-58. Almost there!


I’m getting close to finally finishing the GR11!
Here I walked from the hills of Hiriberri-Aezkoa, past Orbara and Burguete, camped on the side of a dirt road just before Elizondo, then walked in the scorching hot sun and finally got a glimpse of my destination- the Atlantic Ocean! I camped in a wonderful picnic area with a water fountain (it is near Iguzkiagerreko Borda, right on the GR11 trail).

- I'm still only up to Day 30-31 😮 🎉 Congratulations on finishing this journey and all of the video editing! Your stamina and attitude are amazing, and inspiring ⛰️ 👟 🌞

Day 55- Crazy Wind!!


GR11 thru-hike, Day 55- Crazy Wind!!


Day 55 of my thru-hike across Spain!

On this day I followed the GR11 trail from Ochagavia, up some extremely windy hills, down to the tree line, back up and over the hills, and then finally into the forest. I found a decent camping spot next to a dirt road not far from a freshwater spring. Whew.

I seem to have struggled a lot towards the end of this trek :D


GR11 Day 52- Foxes & Closed Grocery Stores


Day 52 of my thru-hike across the Spanish Pyrenees!

I woke up next to Rio Aragon Subordan (across Refugio de la Mina, which is abandoned), hiked up Chipeta Alto (a nice and easy peak just off the GR11), then hiked to Camping Zuriza.

There are some things you should know about Zuriza:
1. Several hikers reported foxes breaking into their tents and stealing their food here and near other campgrounds in this area.

  1. The supermarket here is closed for good! There is an expensive restaurant only (and a very nice staff member who gave me a free chocolatey baked bread thingy- thank you to that guy!! :D ). You should plan on buying groceries in Isaba, where there is a bigger shop which is open until 9PM in summer.

Wow, that is so gorgeous! Spain is rapidly rising in my must-visit-soon list.

That was nicely put, and I 100% agree with everything you said. So much work went into this documentary, and the result is remarkable! I hope everyone in the world gets to enjoy this piece of art 😃

Getting hot! And closer to the end! :D


GR11 thru-hike, Day 50-51- Getting Hot!


Days 50-51 of my thru-hike across the Pyrenees Mountains in Spain!

I started the day walking up some ski pistes west of Candanchú, then walked up and down some dry mountains taking a variation of the GR11 towards Refugio de Lizara. On my 50th night, I camped at Humedal de Plana Mistresa. Then on day 51 I walked past Ibon de Estanes (a beautiful lake), then down to Rio Aragon Subordan and camped across Refugio de la Mina (which was abandoned).

The days are getting hotter and hotter but I’m getting closer to my final destination- the Atlantic Ocean! 😄

50 days walked, 11 more to go! :D


GR11 Day 48-50- SHEEP and Weight Loss


Days 48-50 of my big hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!

I started day 48 by Rio de Canal Roya, walked to Candanchú (a ski town with only 1 very expensive small shop in summer), then I walked up a bunch of ski slopes to what I thought would be a lake - Ibon de Tortiellas (this was a side trek off the GR11 to find good camping). It turned out that this “lake” was dry, but there was a nice stream and small waterfall on the far side of it. It was so nice that I decided to have an extra rest day there. But then… I was invaded by thousands of sheep!

On day 50 I explained my thru-hiking weight loss problem and headed back onto the GR11.

The transcript for Part 1 of the TROM II documentary is done! Whew. That was a lot more time-consuming than I expected :D The next parts should be done faster, as I'm getting used to doing them, plus I may get some help from some nice people :)

Day 47 of my big hike across the Pyrenees - videos.trom.tf/w/mMhK8kg5NoTpz…


GR11 Thru-hike, Day 47- Pico de Anayet / Pic du Midi d'Ossau


Day 47 of my big hike across the Pyrenees Mountains!

I woke up in one of my favorite camping spots ever- next to Ibon de Anayet Pequeño (the small Anayet Lake, in Spain), with an amazing view of perhaps the most famous mountain of the French Pyrenees - Pic du Midi d'Ossau. Then I hid my large backpack behind a boulder and climbed Punta de la Espelunciecha, Pico Anayet, and Vértice de Anayet.
Then I continued on the GR11 and camped in the valley below.
