Recap of today’s hitchhiking adventure from Frankfurt to Geneva:
Step 1: Take public transport outside the city center and walk from train station to pull in on highway leading south.
Step 2: Asking all people if they go south. Get rejected 10 times.
Step 3: Meet Katharina, photographer from Darmstadt. She’ll take you to the next gas station on the highway. 10km
Step 4: Meet Pov and Rob from 🇮🇪, the letter just flew in from Cork to visit his buddy in Germany for a fun weekend. Fold yourself in the backseat of a Cabrio BMW and cruise until Karlsruhe.
Step 5: Meet Alain 🇫🇷, dad of 2 selling fishing gear. Practice a bit of your language skills. C’était très agréable avec toi. Get off on A5 close to Strasbourg.
Step 6: Meet Manji 🇮🇳, vibe wisdom on #Bitcoin and #Anarchy while feeling compassion for other perspectives. Get up right to the Swiss border.
Step 7: Meet Phillip 🇨🇭 and his son (who was asleep for the whole journey) which is relatable if you’re tired from riding the rollercoster all day. Get used to the sweet swiss accent while holding a space for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt to flow.
Jump off in Bern, wishing them well.
Step 8: Slowly loose hope for arrival until you meet Felix 🇨🇭, who will take you towards Lousanne. Inspire him to look closer into the founding myth of Bitcoin. Wish him well for his studies in hospitality. I’m convinced he’ll be just like the guy in the Grand Budapest. Thanks for connectivity.
Step 9: Meet Lilli and Oskar 🇩🇪 who will take you close enough to Geneva to get picked up by your host. Wish them the best weather for their road-trip to the sea, and leave them with some ideas on deflation, sustainability and incentive structures.
Step 10:
Get WiFi at Yotel to be able to contact your hosts. Get picked up 20 minutes later by a white Tesla and meet Martin and Nikola, who are part of "la plej granda familio", a rare species that speaks the language of hope💚
Step 11:
Be grateful for living in freedom and alignment with values. Grin and grow because you faced uncertainty, anxiety and discomfort head on, and got rewarded for it with a sun setting behind the mountains.
