Sent: 11.02 AM - 8/14 2001 Hey! Heard you used THE WORLD FOR FREE in your travels. Glad to see that. I haven't checked the whole site out yet, but do you have a www.worldforfree.com link? Would you like to write something for the next book, due out early next year? Let me know. You can respond through the website. Thanks,
Dear Ramon's Mum Wishing you a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I hope you will have a lovely day. I know that Ramon will be missing you just as much as you are missing him and I expect you will get hundreds of Birthday messages from Ramon's "extended family" via his website. Have a great day. Lots of love Sylvia xxx (one of his Scottish hosts)
To Ramon’s Mom, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope your day is filled with happiness and God’s Blessings. Your son is a great guy, and very mature. You must be very proud of him. I bet you miss him a lot. I wish you both the best. And I wish Ramon a safe and happy journey. With Love, Nina 
Name: Michael City, Country: Seattle, USA Sent: 8.34 PM - 8/13 2001 Groeten van the North West corner of Amerika. Much thanks for the first 100 days and this is just a note to say, I really appreciate the words and photos of the places you've been (many of which I have been to in the past). Your camera eye is superb! I also appreciate the Internet Community which is supporting you and offering a day (not me --- yet!) for you to stay. Although it's a strange community it is really a world wide neighborhood which has transcended from the early Internet days which was for geeks and freaks. (I am both!) Best of luck and hope that your trip will be the first of many Internet community travels and also I hope to see you in Seattle (Probably next year August - September) ... it's a bit damp (als Holland) October to June. Tot Ziens (for me it was 5 years in Amsterdam)

Congratulations. By the way... remember our Hamster? She died... :( Take care and continue to travel safely.
Ramon, is Judith/Juut your girlfriend at home?
Name: Judith City, Country: Groningen, the netherlands Sent: 1.19 PM - 8/13 2001 Hey Ramon! 100 days on the road!!! Congrats!! I wish you all the best and have a great time in Denmark, which is a very good choice, I guess. I hope you're fine and I hope you will find time to update your reports, but just enjoy life every single moment and take your time to rest! Though I AM waiting(!) for all those new reports. Life in Groningen is still going nice and easy but some heavy weeks are coming up including a bit of playing tennis with my friend-for-ever-Gerrieke-who-likes-to-drink-a-lot. She comes over from Zwolle to have some nice weeks over here (also the "Keiweek" is a part of it! (For the ones who don't know: Keiweek is an introduction week in Groningen for new university students, a lot of bands are playing and the whole city is overwhelmed by students going out late all week and so on; a great but heavy week!) We zullen er eentje op je drinken! So far for now! Take care and lots'a love, juut
Name: Lars B. Dybdahl City, Country: Copenhagen, Denmark Sent: 1.19 PM - 8/13 2001 Now that you are in Denmark, notice the sky. It is very, very seldom that you have the same types of clouds all over the sky, as you can often see it in countries like England and other places where the distance to the sea is much greater. In Denmark, you cannot get further away from the sea than 50 kilometers, so the clouds will always look different around you. Cheers.
Hey there Ramon, We are all still following you here. We're very proud you already made a 100 days. Congratulations!! Send Lars to Zwolle to meet me ;)
Hi Ramon
I've been very bad, not checking your progress for about two weeks. Well, Denmark seems like a great place. Good idea to go there in summer. Two things I've noticed. One is that you are getting a lot of invitations from Taiwan and surrounding areas. I suppose you'll gradually shift eastwards, eventually crossing the international date line, and circumnavigate the globe before returning home. That last night in the White House seems more realistic now, hey! The second thing I've noticed is that your host Lars Vinther Smidt is good looking. I'd be really happy to look like him. Ah well, I am no where close to as good looking, so that's perhaps why I'm single. :-( In any case, looks are but one part of the whole person. There are lots of characteristics to consider, as I'm sure you are realising through your travels. This is certainly the best way to learn. Which makes me think... I seem to remember the topic being discussed briefly before, but are you ok with not having a significant other with you? Or is the plan to use this project to meet some stunning woman when you do return home...? Whatever it is, keep on travelling, and all the best. Please remember, before you venture too far east, come down south for a while. South Africa is waiting. And we have a good climate. See ya Brian

Enjoy our little country and the mostly friendly people here. From me and my families travels I have learned that now other education is better in understanding the fantastic world and its PEOPLE. Take care and good luck. PS We will love to host You if back in Sjælland??
Name: Merete City, Country: Charlottenlund, Denmark Sent: 10.22 AM - 8/12 2001 Hi Ramon
I hope that you are enjoying yout time in Denmark. Maybe it's a good idea to go to www.virtualtourist.com and tell your story in the World Forum. It's a travel page with about 155.000 members all over the world and it's very much alive. I am sure you will receive a lot of invitations. We are going to Greece today, so unfortunately we can't invite you. Good luck! Merete
I guess that Lars Vinther Smidt is single... but how would that be possible? we are waiting!

Name: Kathy City, Country: Eastern Panhandle, WV Sent: 4.26 PM - 8/10 2001 Some folks may be interested in some books of an earlier traveler who set out to travel for a long time with virtually no money back in 1933. His trip started in the Netherlands, too. Patrick Leigh Fermor walked from Amsterdam to Constantinople over the course of a year and a half. He's got at least 2 books that cover his journey - "A Time of Gifts" (sounds sort of familiar :-) ) and "Between the Woods and the Water." I just happened to hear a reading from the latter a couple of weeks ago on a BBC program that was on the radio in the middle of the night when I was trying to go to sleep.
Name: Sharlini City, Country: K.TRG, M'sia Sent: 4.25 PM - 8/10 2001 Ummm, happy 100 days and I'm glad you finally made it to Denmark! I was right, it WAS Denmark (more proof that I'm psychic-hehehe). Well, I think all your future hosts should always keep in mind the possibility of you staying for more than a day (and I bet most of them don't mind). *g* Take care, Ramon! Sharlini
Message for Violetta. I agree that Ramon should go on the TV as people who don't even know about his project would find his experiences interesting. Having been one of Ramon's ex-hosts, the favourable comments that everyone has written about him are true, he is a great guy, very interesting to talk to and also very intelligent. It was a pleasure having him, but his stay wasn't long enough!
Name: Violetta City, Country: Burgesse, France Sent: 2.40 AM - 8/10 2001 Over 100 days already! And even your parents are proud of you. I can't believe how your ex-hosts write about you, so nice! Really sweet. Now I also want to meet you in real life and maybe a lot of others, why don't you go on television? Than we can all enjoy it.
Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg City, Country: Copenhagen, Denmark Sent: 10.15 PM - 8/9 2001 The messageboard had been taken away for a while, because it did not work properly. Hopefully everything is restored again and you can view or write comments or other thoughts again. Regards, Ramon.

I also want to congradulate you on your first 100 days, but I also want to thank your support team for keeping us plugged into your adventure. So Ramons support team, please take a bow for a job well done. Thany You!!!
Name: Marc Vallhonesta City, Country: Spain Sent: 9.11 PM - 8/8 2001 Well, apart from saying that you had a great idea, I want to let you know that you appeared in "La Vanguardia", most important newspaper in Barcelona, and probably second in Spain. "Stoppelenburg: El primer cibergorrón: And I can translate it for you: Title: the first cyber who want others to invite him Published in La Vanguardia on 08/08/2001, section: Vivir en Verano (Live in Summer)/ La Red (The Net) The Dutch guy Ramon Stoppenlenburg can be called a "cyber who wants other to invite him". This 24-years-old student wants to see the world for free. Thus, his website is called letmestayforaday.com ("dejame quedar un dia"). In it, he asks anyone to invite him to stay at his place and so to help him make his adventure, which started in May, successful. He doesn't only travel but he publishes in his Internet site a journal where he explains all the details of his travel with pictures and so he thanks his host. "I have to tell others your hospitality and your way of cooking" he says. The Stoppelenburg travel started on the 1st of May in Holland and he has visited France, United Kingdom and Ireland. But, so far, it is not easy to tell when is he going to finish his odyssey. En his website he has hundreds of invitations -eleven of them in Spain- and only the ones posted before the 29 of April are published. In the list there are such far places from one to other as Chile, Thailand or Australia, but the traveller but find difficulties to satisfy so many people who want to host him, because he says "I won't take buses, trains or planes because I'll be hitchhiking most of the time". Anyway, a north American guy has been offered to take him in his yacht. Stoppenlenburg inspired his initiative in another very popular site on the Net called sendmeadollar.com ("enviame un dolar"), where visitors are asked to give this small amount. Last, some advice: the traveller has said that he would not mind a digital camera or a mobile phone" My apologies for any mistake, any bad translation, etc.
