Dummdididummm, dummdumm, dadamm... A few days ago Wellness-Bummler and I had drumming lessons with real Garifuna people in Dangriga, Belize. They are born with the beat in their blood and they are great musicians. They have a lot of fun playing their drums and socialising with their friends and family. I picked it up quickly and they were surprised that I got it that fast! I was playing together with them! Great! I wanted to buy a drum but unfortunately the drums are too bulky for traveling around and you need to have at least two of them for gread sound, a primary and a secondary one. I am still struggeling to carry my backpack, my photo equipment and my laptop. I need to optimize my bags. I need one bag which fits the photo equipment, laptop and some clothes ...and maybe a drum;-)... any ideas?
Furthermore I have been to "Mr. Drum Manufacturer" itselfs and learned how to make handcrafted drums. Have a look here: by the way, it is a very nice workshop next to the beach:-)
I would like to give people the idea of traveling for a longer time, spend time and work with local people, learn about their culture and their country. I am writing about curious experiences, interviewing people about their life, advertise accommodations and lovely spots to go to. I am also writing about the bad plastic pollution over here. I want to reach as many people as possible to help them solve the environmental problems!
Transport should be easy, just put all your stuff into the drum! It may even serve as a camera lens.
