The International Rainbow Gatherings tend to happen over July, my birthday month. Most people can take some vacation time around then. For other Rainbow travelers, it doesn’t matter when it is because their life is Rainbow all the time.

(41) Rainbow Gathering Arrival
’94 Rainbow Gathering, Dragonia Valley, Slovenia
(40) Trucking, Tunnel, & Squat
The borders had opened for all to pass freely between the European countries. With this in mind, we had to search for someone to stamp our passports. We knocked on the windows of the offices. “That’s not necessary anymore. You may pass,” the guard told us. We explained that as this was our only chance…
(39) Olive oil & Illness
Sometimes a ride just comes, and sometimes you must wait for the right one to finally arrive. Synchronization of the serendipitous moment. This time we had to wait. It’s not like this was the busiest highway.

The destination of our first international Rainbow gathering awaited us. We deflated and rolled up the sleeping mats and bags, dismantled the tent, and carefully repacked our…
(33) Busking, Camping and the Bock
Our busking teachers had told us the best places to busk is “wherever the money is.” That made sense. Donna saw a jewelry store on a corner with a big window full of sparkly diamonds and luxurious jewelry. “There’s our spot!” She proclaimed. She was right! Being on a corner, we were catching foot traffic…
