This is my first picture in this Blog. It is a picture I took in one of my favourite spots, in Bolonia, near Tarifa (Cádiz, Spain).

With this picture I want to dedicate this section to other travellers, those who are different and much less fortunate than I am. They were different because of the “lottery” called mother’s womb. They are travellers who not always could reach their destinations, who not always could reach their dreams.

Many people arrive at the coasts and frontiers of several countries. They are desperate people who die to reach their destinations, broken dreams created by desperate situations, sometimes boosted by others who obtain benefits from it.

Take a moment to think and understand other people just as we ourselves want to be understood. It is essential that development is promoted and maintained in the most deprived places. It is essential that those who control the tools and the means work so that everybody has an opportunity, the right to live with dignity. However, this does not mean living in the development and consumer society model we, the so-called developed countries, know. If we do not tackle this problem with determination, the result will be a divided world with large walls and a great battle to fight for survival.

If those in the government and those who control the “means” do not have “time” to take care of the situation, they should delegate it completely to those people and organisations which are committed and have the know-how to do it.

History and culture do not have individual owners. We are all owners the same, but the owners are essentially their own people, those who worked, lived and died to create them. Those of us who live them now, are a short period to this history, and even less when we use their land to enjoy our holidays. Our responsibility is to maintain them in a sustainable and orderly way. Moreover, we have to fight to change the misfortune others have created and still are creating nowadays.

To all those travellers with dreams who set out and never reached their destinations,
