It’s a nice video with a positive message in the end. The only thing it’s missing, I’d say, is a mention of some alternative couchsurfing platforms like https://www.trustroots.org/ and https://www.bewelcome.org/ – those that haven’t morphed into an evil profit-driven company :D
I explained the whole Couchsurfing story in more detail here- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2020/05/26/the-death-of-couchsurfing/
That’s why I’m in this mini-doc :)

Do You Know Where You Come From?
There’s an extraordinary fact about Earthlings- and all Earth things- that I suspect many people are not aware of. It’s a story- an incredible story that we, humans, have discovered fairly recently.Big World | Small Sasha

My website got a bunch of attention these days because the Dodo channel published a video about my octopus "friends" and it seems to have gone viral. Unfortunately they only posted it on Facebook but here it is- https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=616745376052429
They titled it as "Octopus Leads Her Human Best Friend To Her Den" haha :D It was true tho :)
And here is the video that Dima made about the same octopuses- https://videos.trom.tf/w/svf9xeAmkEzgz8CXKoUZPN

I’m becoming more and more confident that I’d like to self-publish my book without even trying to send it to any agents or publishing companies. That’s mostly because I think I’ll blow my head off if I have to edit it anymore (and I would have to edit it a lot more if a publishing company accepted it). I’d also like to have control over it- no editing out controversial subjects, no changing the title, no .99 prices, and nobody telling me that I can’t give it away for free.
Let’s see. For now I am still editing and editing...

I'm done with the 5th draft of parts 1 and 2 now. That's about 1/3 of the way there! (The 5th draft will have to be the final one :D )

And also a massive thank you to Uwe and Benjamin, who still support me on Patreon. I haven’t made much new content for a while because I am still focusing on my book and this has been a huge challenge for me. I made an update about my struggle here a few days ago- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/book
Basically, I’m still working on the 5th draft, which (I know I’ve said this before) I hope will be the last and final one :)
For now, Tio and I have enough money to survive for another 4 months or so thanks to a number of very kind people who help us out. Thank you so much to you all.

I came up with the idea to write a book at the end of 2017, when I got fed up with people telling me that they wished they could live like me, but they “didn’t have enough money.Big World | Small Sasha

Here I explain the story of how I met and started interacting with these octopuses :)
See my blog for more details: https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2021/04/28/meeting-an-octopus/
These days the water temperature is about 14-15 degrees, but I'm still going in there to interact with these octopuses :D Yesterday I found a very friendly one who chased me around the bay. I'll see if I can film him :)
Big thanks to Dima for the video :)

After that, I want to go through the book one more time, make a reference page, and still fix the conclusion. I never thought it would take me this long to finish this damn book but it is what it is. Just a little bit more to go..

I added some Pyrenees photos to my photo page: https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/photos/
It seemed a bit out of date since I had nothing there since 2019. Now 2021 is there :)

Love those Pyrenees mountain lakes :)

In this episode we will talk about the notion of nudity. Why are the clothesless human bodies seen as being obscene in today's society? Why is youtube, facebook and the like banning content simply because of naked bodies being shown?, We have written…link.trom.tf

Also, I made a longer update on my old GoFundMe campaign- https://www.gofundme.com/f/big-world-small-sasha-the-book
Sorry that I made that campaign almost two years ago and I still haven't published my book! I have been working on it like crazy over the past two years though and I'm super relieved that I finally finished it. I will publish it when I get back from the hike (after I go over it just one last time 😁)
Let's see how far I can get on this hike before I collapse 😀

Over the past 2-3 months I've been coming back to the secret octopus bay and I've figured out that there are three octopuses that like human feet :D And there is one octopus that is particularly friendly. She even took me by the hand, held me in strong current, and dragged me around the bay!
I updated my octopus blog with a bunch of new videos so you can see all of this here- https://www.bigworldsmallsasha.com/2021/04/28/meeting-an-octopus/

I’ll spend the rest of the summer walking across the Pyrenees Mountains and thinking about it :D
I plan to leave in 1 week.

My plan hasn’t changed much. Right now, I’m finishing up draft 3 of my book- and I’m finally almost done! (This time really :D) I’ve put a crazy amount of work into this book over the past 2 years so now I’m pretty much sick of working on it :D Once I finish everything except the conclusion, I plan to go off into the Pyrenees Mountains and hike to the Atlantic. After that, I’ll come back, finish the conclusion, take one last look over the book, and then I’ll finally publish it. Whew. Then I’ll figure out some way to make some money so that Tio and I can keep our projects going without getting all stressed out all the time :)

This video is about the ridiculousness of our trade-based society. There are so many empty appartments that are used for only a short period of time or not at all, because it is profitable to do so.videos.trom.tf

I went for a dip in a quiet rocky bay in the Mediterranean Sea. When I came out of the water I noticed an octopus close to shore, looking at me. I came towards the octopus and it came closer to me, then she/he touched my foot with its tentacle and tried to latch onto me! I was shocked and quickly backed away. The octopus squirted me, then stayed close and continued to observe me at the edge of the shoreline.
