"...a beacon of hope for both now and the
future. You can't afford to miss it!"
Friends and Families of Travellers Newsletter.
"....it made me want to throw off my shackles, get a truck
and make a run for it."
SQUALL.
Very much 'postcards and pictures from the edge.' Personal accounts
about travelling in France, Spain, Romania, Goa, Germany, Greece,
South Africa and more. A wonderful evocation of personal struggles
for the freedom to travel and to live non-stereotypical lives!
This is the real lives of new Travellers and other members of
the DIY counter culture. Some are performers, street sellers,
members of sound systems, living right on the edge. Others are
in small family units enjoying the opportunities offered in different
cultures; and access to land in both rural and urban locations.
No Boundaries tells their stories, lows and highs,
struggles, defeats and victories.
Dianne in France: "So I arrived at Marseilles, couldn't
understand a word, But I could drive and fix lorries."
Paul in Spain: "The priest will probably never see
as many dreads, tattoos, combat boots, or indeed English speakers
in his tiny church again."
Phoebus @ppollo in Czech: "There was a massive spinning
laser which was competing with the constellations; and at the
end of the drag, a bunch of nutters on a double-decker bus called
the Crow Bar with a nice line in beer, burgers, and baby-food.
It was technival. you know the sort. Technomad mayhem. Wheels
and whizz. Sounds and space-cakes. A freak's fiesta. A wicked
party."
Vanessa in southern Spain: "Over five years our community
has grown and developed. With 26 babies born here it has become
family oriented, although the energy of single people is still
very welcome!"
Shelanagig on Europe and travelling: "For me, being
a Traveller is about side-stepping the boundaries that the state
tries to fence us in with. Some of these boundaries are implanted
in our heads, encouraging us to be narrow-minded about the unfamiliar."
And the links with Romany/Gypsy tradition: "...nomadism,
the struggle to achieve the right to travel - the right to stop,
is part of a long and painful tradition."
