Just wanted to say well done and I'm looking forward to reading your next daily report :) Bye. Name: Ramon Stoppelenburg Sent: 6.32 PM - 8/10 2001 Just added more pictures with the August 6th report. Report will be following shortly, just can't find the time for it right now... 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. Name: Bret City, Country: USA Sent: 10.56 PM - 8/8 2001 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.
PS Well done on the 100 days, man. Keep up the good work in Scandinavia. Name: Journo Jim City, Country: Dubin, Ireland Sent: 6.58 PM - 8/8 2001 Dear Ramon, I missed you in Copenhagen airport! When where you there? I was stuck there for four hours on Tuesday afternoon and met one of my neighbours in the departure lounge - aparrently it's voted the best airport in the world, though I don't know why...

We thank all the hosts for the hospitality and taking care of our son Name: Anonymous City, Country: Global Village Sent: 11.09 AM - 8/8 2001 Dear Ramon, I would let you stay at my place forever.
I can't believe it! It seems I have missed Ramon on Radio 2 with Steve Wright, according to a couple of messages on the messageboard!!!!!! We had ramon staying here with us, as a result of hearing about him on Steve Wright!!!! I even e-mailed Steve and Miles Mendoza who does the website of the day on his show!!!!! and now I've missed Ramon finally getting on the programme! Please Ramon, if possible put a recording on the site, as Sylvia suggested. I would also like to acknowledge we enjoyed meeting Ramon, and wouldn't hesitate to have him back again.
Where are you Ramon? Don't keep us in suspense! I missed you on Steve Wright because I was at work all day. Will you be putting a recording on your website for people who were at work all day please? Name: Paul G City, Country: Lampeter, Wales Sent: 5.05 PM - 8/7 2001 Hi Ramon - just heard you on BBC radio 2, made me check this site out and as you have requested, opened my doors for you. Lampeter's a beautiful place, and I'll definitely need the warning as busy guy, but always make time for someone who needs a plce to stay! Safe journeys and travel well! Paul. Name: Julia City, Country: Stockport, England Sent: 5.00 PM - 8/7 2001 Hi Ramon, Just submitted my place as somewhere for you to stay. Hope we get to see you soon and hear about your fab journey and get to know you and you get to know us. I make a wicked Roas Beef dinner y'know :) Happy Travelling! Name: Carol City, Country: Co. Down, N. Ireland Sent: 2.55 PM - 8/7 2001 Sylvia & Peter, Scotland. I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I think what Ramon is doing is amazing & I only wish I could do something similar. My criticism was of the reporter in our local newspaper who described Ramon as a confidence trickster. I have absolutely no criticism of Ramon whatsoever. Like yourselves, my family enjoyed his visit immensely and I have written a letter to that effect to my local newspaper describing their reporter as a narrow minded conservative person who's attitude does nothing to promote N. Ireland as a beautiful, and believe it or not, welcoming society. I suggest that you and others e-mail the newspaper (The Mourne Observer) at mobserver@btinternet.com and share with them your own positive experiences of having Ramon to stay. Cheers, Carol Name: Alain City, Country: Paris, France Sent: 11.01 AM - 8/7 2001 I saw an article on your web-site in the plane I took to go to Marocco. I find it a very great idea. I also travelled for 3 months in South-east Asia. It was a very great experience for me and I still have nostalgia of it. Name: Sylvia and Peter City, Country: North Berwick, Scotland Sent: 11.34 PM - 8/6 2001 Hello all, We too welcomed Ramon for a day up here in Scotland, in July, and as most other hosts have said, we really enjoyed his company and found him to be a charming, very open, honest, friendly guy who we wished could have stayed for a week instead of just a day. We found it was very easy to soon become very fond of Ramon and also to become protective of him. I can't believe that anyone who was fortunate enough to have him to stay could say anything negative about him and he would be VERY welcome back here at any time. His parents are probably a bit worried about him travelling around and staying with people who he knows nothing about,and although they don't know him either, through the website they will have been able to learn so much about Ramon and see by the photos of himself that he is a lovely smiley guy and his parents should be immensely proud of him. Good Luck Ramon, we will always remember you with great fondness.
Hi all, Ramon stayed with me for 3 days last week and it was a time I will remember always. The experience was worth it's weight in gold and also gives REAL people a chance to show that hospitality and the better side of human nature still exists in this modern world. Ramon is a great guy, and grab the chance to have him stay, it restores your faith in human kind. The negative comments I see here say so much about the people writing them and little about Ramon, they need to get some help rekindle their faith in human nature. Name: Dan and Karen City, Country: Ealing, London, UK Sent: 9.07 PM - 8/6 2001 We just waved off Ramon to the airport today - he's been here for three days. He is neither lazy nor a confidence trickster as described in the post below. I think a better description would be to call Ramon a free spirit - you would have to be to do this project. Ramon was a good guest and was fun to have around. He has interersting opininons and principles and is very switched on. His character will allow him to learn a lot from his travels. You are welcome back any time Ramon.
Hi Ramon and anyone else reading this, I told you you made the front page of our local newspaper after you stayed with us, well last week, the newspaper's cross channel correspondent, Peter Burns wrote a letter saying how you were nothing but a 'lazy devil' and 'confidence trickster'. He also said that your hosts were 'mugs', taken for a ride. I was highly offended to be described as a mug as I consider myself to be a discerning person and wrote a stinker of a letter to the newspaper in reply. It's due for publication this wednesday so it'll be interesting to see if it'll be included. Anyway, I suggest that any other of you past hosts out there also contact this newspaper by e-mail, their address is mobserver@btinternet.com and voice your opinions. The editor invited a response to the letter so he'd be more than surprised if that response came from abroad as this is strictly a local newspaper. Good luck Ramon. It embarasses me as an Irish woman that your stay in Ealing was tinged by the negative experience of a RIRA bomb. These people are mindless thugs and in no way represent the feelings of the average Irish person. Good Luck, Carol. Name: Chiara City, Country: Italy Sent: 3.44 PM - 8/3 2001 Hi!
It's very beautiful to think that you'll hold a piece of everybody you meet and every place you see in your mind and bring it all over the world. I guess you got a real "free" spirit and soul to do all this! It should be a great example for everybody. I wish you good luck and a lot of fun. Name: elkali@web.de City, Country: cologne Sent: 11.24 AM - 8/3 2001 hi roman, realy good idea you have, my english is not the best but let me ask you one question: have you ever heared from possibility to change flats for 1/2/3 weeks. one person from ireland comes to cologne and Igo to him??it will be to complete my english,enjoy the feeling far from shools etc. If you find time to answer it will be nice. many many greatings from sylvia/elsa at cologne Name: Noemí City, Country: Argentina Sent: 2.48 AM - 8/3 2001 Wow Ramón!!!!! congratulations....You have done a lot since the last time I saw your trip....That's good!!

All the best to you Ramon. Name: Miek City, Country: Zwolle Sent: 3.23 PM - 8/1 2001 Hi Ramon, 3 months already! By the way Zwolle did not change at all! Today there was an other 'Blauwvingerdag'.... RAMON: Always nice to hear from a friend that nothing happens in my hometown Zwolle. To all others: Blauwvingerdag is our anual Groundhog Day, it will always be the same thing every year.

(eventhough it's on 5.50 in the morning) I hope DJ Giel Beelen will keep you throughout the summer, because I really enjoy your project and don't want to miss your real life talks anymore. Radio 3FM Rules! RAMON: Thanks Marlies, for your compliments. It's great to be back on air... Name: LSOM City, Country: Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia Sent: 5.00 AM - 8/1 2001 Ramon,

My mum and Dad are sorry they missed you but hope you have fun on the rest of your journey. T2UL. Nick Name: Dranoel Nephets City, Country: Agra, India Sent: 5.03 AM - 7/31 2001 Keri, I kinda curious how you're going to make up to living in that seems to be a huge invisible oven. In some part of the world, its getting hotter and hotter. No thanks to a few ignorants and greeds. Ramon, I agreed that withdrawal symptoms are prematurely taking effect - only for time being, but I'll stay as it's part of the project atmosphere.
Nope! I'm NOT kidding!!! Phoenix, AZ is VERY hot during the summer. One summer the temperature hit 122 F! But, while we DO have hot summers, which last about 3-4 months, the rest of the year is BEAUTIFUL!!! :) Kinda makes up for having to live in what seems like a giant oven for a few months!
