Name: Angel City, Country: Mount Gambier S. Aust. Sent: 12.28 PM - 4/13 2002 Your concept of free travelling is very clever. I was wondering if you could help or anyone else? I need to know of wheelchair accessable accommodation in holland that is cheap. Or is there any where I can turn to for a register of such accommodation? Most places overseas are 'A' class and not affordable on a pension.
Name: AK City, Country: Mülheim in Germany Sent: 10.28 AM - 4/13 2002 This Page is very beautiful, my Historyteacher says to our class, that he have seen you and he has speak with you, is this really right? AK
It is a petty that I haven't seen this site before. I am trying to help Ramon for some free airtravel tickets in Australia. If i would have know before I could try to let him fly back in First Class on one of my survey trips. He would like this. I am still working on those issues. I will keep you informed here.

Name: Plummer City, Country: Miami, USA Sent: 2.44 PM - 4/12 2002 My freshman classes (in high school) have been reading the newspaper in Miami for current events and one of my students came across an article all about you. I have shared this article with all of my freshman classes because it's such a unique story. We'd like to thank you for providing us with such an interesting article for our current events project. They all say "wazzaaa" and they look forward to keeping up with your future adventures. Thank you! Ms. Plummer
Name: Annmarie City, Country: Brisbane Sent: 1.20 PM - 4/12 2002 Saw your story in the Quest newspaper and was truly inspired by your website. It's a great way to see the world. Hope you enjoy the rest of your stay in Australia.
Name: Robert City, Country: San Salvatore Monf., Italy Sent: 10.00 AM - 4/12 2002 My mother was born in Ingham, in north Queensland, and I never had been in Australia. With your photographies and your daily report I can travel in places that I wish to visit from much time. Thanks.
Name: Rachel City, Country: Taipei, Taiwan Sent: 8.11 AM - 4/12 2002 Although I can't let you stay my house, I really hope you can go to Taipei. You can go to Taiwan, because people is very nice!
Name: Am City, Country: Melbourne Sent: 7.12 AM - 4/12 2002 Foxmill, don't be so harsh, Ramon is none of those things. However I do fear if he visits the big brother house he will certainly find them there!
Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.11 AM - 4/12 2002 Hi all
Yep, Sylvia and Bret are right. Irena, tell us your thoughts about your man's activities. Nothing personal, of course, just the general stuff. It would be really interesting to hear what you think, since this must affect you in a way that can't really be understood by others. Except Ramon's close friends, like Munk and Gerben and the other Barcelona gang. The Board of Supporters is waiting with antici...pAtion to hear from you! Ramon, what do you think about this? You are obviously in contact with your lovely lady, so she is fully aware of what's happening, and you know how she feels. Are these suggestions an invasion of your privacy? Would you prefer if the status quo was retained? Hamba kahle, Ramon Brian
You're right Sylvia. It would be nice to hear from Irene. So, Irene if you do have access to the net, and happen to scim over this message board. HI! Drop us a line or two. Would love to hear how and what you're doing in the Army. Take Care. Sala Kahle Bret
Name: Heather City, Country: Arizona, USA Sent: 9.16 PM - 4/11 2002 Dear Ramon, I think what you have done is wonderful. I think you are showing the world not to be so afraid and to keep on traveling and seeing the world. There are a lot of awsome people out there and I hope you touch many. You are welcome to stay in Arizona with my family. Good Luck and God Bless
Name: mirjam City, Country: holland Sent: 8.42 PM - 4/11 2002 It was nice to see that because I showed my friend Irene an article about you on planet news, that you stayed at her house in Brisbane :-) good luck with your travels and if you need a last stop on your way back ............your welcome in Amersfoort
Name: Sylvia City, Country: Scotland Sent: 2.27 PM - 4/11 2002 Hi Ramon
I was wondering whether your lovely girlfriend Irena back in Holland might post a message here sometime! Does she have access to the internet where she is at the moment? Regards
Sylvia
Name: Morgan City, Country: Victoria, BC, Canada Sent: 8.07 AM - 4/11 2002 Ramon....oh the things you can find on the internet! I find your experiences amazing - not just because of the pure excitement of your travels and extent of your experiences, but because of the human kindness that has made it possible. It must feel great to have so much good cheer surround your trip. Good luck and good travels in the future.
Name: MJ City, Country: Denver Sent: 11.24 PM - 4/10 2002 Hey Sam from Wapello, do you have the link from the Des Moines register? I'm originally from iowa. :) MJ
Name: donatella City, Country: milan, italy Sent: 8.25 PM - 4/10 2002 hello ramon, reading your latest report I've had a sudden idea: instead of those terrific (and not so educational) killing-pc games, why don't you recommend the kids the old & beloved pac-man? I know.. it could sound like prehistory... ciao, donatella
Name: David City, Country: Lancaster,PA USA Sent: 10.53 PM - 4/9 2002 Read about u in the Lancaster Sunday News on 4/7/02. Reminded me of '79 when in US Navy in Guam...met a couple of guys traveling 'around the world in 80 days' via PanAm...provided them shelter in the barracks and treated them to dinner at the island supper club where I worked part-time...very interesting! Best of luck in your travels...I will be checking your progress!
Name: Lucia City, Country: Grinnell, USA Sent: 6.36 PM - 4/9 2002 Like Sam from Wapello, Iowa, USA, I saw you in the Des Moines Register last weekend. Come to Iowa and stay with us on the farm!
Name: David City, Country: Brisbane, Australia Sent: 10.59 AM - 4/9 2002 You're my hero, dude! The one goal (dream, if you like) that I've always had is to travel as much of the world as I possibly can. As I'm coming to the end of my schooling, my plans for travelling have come to a head. I'm going to start out by packpacking around Europe. Just the other day I was thinking if it would be possible for me to somehow update my website for my friends and family back home while I'm abroad. I thought about a laptop but scrapped the idea thinking that it was unworkable. The next day I read the article about you. I've copped a fair bit of crap from people for being so single minded about wanting to travel...as if it isn't worth the effort. I'm definately going to do it. You've also reinspired me, and I really look up to what you're doing. Thanks so much man. =)
To foxmill: lack of fantasy an enthusiasm is not a great sign of cleverness. Ramon doesn't force anyone to invite him or puts anyone in a compromising situation. So if you don't like what he's doing: do not invite him! To Ramon: I think it is really courageous and inspiring what you're doing. I just hope that the whole media-hype will allow you to meet REAL people in the future. After all that's what makes your daily reports so unique and interesting. :-) Good Luck
Name: Karran City, Country: Victoria BC, USA Sent: 8.21 AM - 4/9 2002 I came across your picture and a small bit of information on the GlobeandMail.com website. Then, I visited your website: www.letmestayforaday.com Wow, 14 different countries since May 1, 2001. While reading your website, I grew feelings of desire for travel, interest in your project as well as curious about your thoughts on where you are today in your life. The last part of the above paragraph may seem somewhat confusing to you. Let me clarify; when you look at your life to date, what do you think about and did you see yourself being where you are today 5 year ago? Do you travel alone? Do you become lonely? Do you ever go home? – Where do you consider your home to be? I am the same age as you, and am therefore feel somewhat compelled to compare your life to date with mine. I have been pondering the idea of picking up and traveling for quite some time now. Once finished with University I choose to become focused on my career in order to create a base for myself. I do not regret this decision, but now find myself anxious to explore the emotions and intelligence of the world.
I just need to share with the world that there are so many people out there that are so friendly and nice -you can hardly believe it!- and we can learn A LOT from them. Honestly I feel I have learnt more than any university can teach me and I love it. As you can read on my site, I do travel alone. Just to find out how I can handle myself in all kinds of situation, without a side help to talk to when times is hard. And it's what people want. Lots of people online would love it when I am in an uncontrollable situation, it's almost like on reality-tv. But I am not a lonely person at all. Put me in room 492 on the 4th floor of a city hotel for a week, then I get lonely. Not when I constantly meet people and get inspired and share my things with them. I had a break last Christmas, as you can read in my reports, when I met my girlfriend Irena in Barcelona. From that point I spent two months at home, relaxing and preparing for Australia. Home is where my heart is and I feel good with that. It can be anywhere, I just need to be happy. My vote for you: get out and go for that carreer later in life. The world is big enough and honestly, it doesn't cost that much. Just a flight might be, but when you are in another culture, another country and you have to adjust yourself to all those differences that there might be, just feel it glow inside. You'll love it! Hope this clears things up for you! Ramon.
Name: foxmill City, Country: Melbourne, Australia Sent: 2.16 AM - 4/9 2002 Bet you've learnt some new Aussie words like - bludger, scab, bot. Don't believe that US $35 is all you spent. Don't you count it if someone else pays for you! Bit misleading i feel RAMON: Bet you need to learn some other words too, like: hospitality and friendlyness. I, me myself have not spent any more money than 35US$ during my travels, for the domainname of this website. Next to that: all I officially ask is a share in some food and a place to sleep. I am not asking more and people don't have to spend unnecessary money on me ;-) In return I DO write daily reports and publish photographs of my visits on my website (which you probably haven't seen). So I kind of work my way around the 'other way'. If you still see that as being a bludger, scab or bot, there might be something wrong with your mentality.
Name: Kari City, Country: Fort Wayne, IN Sent: 12.18 AM - 4/9 2002 I saw an article about you that Mike Corder did from the Associated Press. This is seems like a great idea. They used to talk about backpacking across Europe back in the 60's. You just made it better. Hope you come to America. I also hope you get to stay at the WHite House. Have fun... and be safe.

Name: Marilyn City, Country: Queensland Aust Sent: 1.23 PM - 4/8 2002 I would like to congratulate you on coming to Aust and having the guts to push through the slackness of the normal person who hasnt a adventuroous bone in their body. Good on you mate!
Name: Brian City, Country: Durban, South Africa Sent: 6.40 AM - 4/8 2002 Oops! Sorry, I forgot to put the details in that previous posting. What was that about the monday morning mind...? (A genuine mistake, by the way, and a sincere appology!)
Mmmmm, a nickname for Ramon... Let's see, with all that Ramon is doing, including the competition with Nat. Geo., I'll think about it. Gotta find something that expresses the spirit, the power, the driving force that keeps Ramon going. It's Monday morning after a toug weekend, so the mind is in neutral. more later. keep well, each of you out there. Brian
Name: jann crawford City, Country: tweed heads ----gold coast--- AUSTRALIA Sent: 9.28 PM - 4/7 2002 Hi Ramon just heard you on the ABC radio from one traveller to another "Go for it " enjoy our beautiful country and take home great memories. Jann
Name: Katie Stoner City, Country: Fort Wayne, United States Sent: 7.06 PM - 4/7 2002 Ramon... I just wanted to write and commend you on your adventurous and wonderful attitude towards the world. It isnt everyday that we the people, see a strong willed person going towards their goals and overseeing alot of the hate and terrorism in our everyday life. You seem to have you mind set on what you want to do with your life. I thing that you will go far in doing whatever it is that you may decide to do with it. Again I commend you and congratulate you on your adventures.
Name: HOWARD City, Country: MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA. USA Sent: 6.21 PM - 4/7 2002 CONGRATS ON YOUR CREATIVITY. A GREAT WEB SITE AND INTERESTING TOO HOWARD
Just read the article about your journey in the Des Moines Register today. Sounds like you have had a pretty interesting journey so far. Figured you might be interested in coming to the heartland of the USA and see where food is raised for export all over the world. It's a uniqe place, fairly new-compared to places in Europe and Asia, and a friendly down home place. Kife here moves at a slower pace than the cities but for the most part, people fall in love with this place and make it home. Most of the people in Wapello and Iowa are either employed directly to agriculture or are affiliated with it. The state can boast of having more pigs than people. With the Mississippi river nearby, recreation is plentiful especially if you enjoy the water. Boating, fishing, hunting, and camping are predominate activities enjoyed by most in the vicinity. Life here revolves around the community, local plays, festivities, and the school system. Hope you plan to visit here,it will be an interesting place to come. Let me know what other things you want to know about Wapello, Iowa or the midwest.
Name: donatella City, Country: milan, italy Sent: 5.48 PM - 4/7 2002 hello, I'd like to thank bret (from USA) for his message. it's a pleasure to see this site: you're right.. who cares about tv when you can follow somethin' so "true"? as it's been said in a message, ramon's reports are, for a stranga reason, more interesting and involving than some National Geographic's articles.. perhaps because we're almost the same age (so ramon is a traveller as we could be? that is, we "speak the same language"?), or maybe because hosting him we can (hosts can..) really take part in it..who knows? via the internet you can follow quite in real time; personally what made me curious in the "lmsfad idea" is that you can directly (in plain words, as if you were tellin' a friend about something) know the difficults & troubles (the same that, after all, you find travelling in your real life!). ciao, donatella
Name: Chet City, Country: Ohio, USA Sent: 5.41 PM - 4/7 2002 Just saw the Columbus, Ohio Dispatch article also. Sounds great! As a member of the USA Boomerang Team, I've travelled many of the places you are seeing...sometimes sponsored and sometimes not. However, seeing the world is great and will stay with you your whole life. DO get to New Zealand for sure and make sure to hit the Southern Island. Unbelieveable sights and friendly people. All the best, Chet
