New Year, Old Trouble

Another year passed. The first full year on the road, on the paths of the Earth for the WorldWalkers, Ferenc and István Ivanics. With 5200 miles and two continents behind their backs the Peacetour came to a stand for the second time. The brothers returned to Spain and put up their “camp” at the edge of Málaga, Spain, thinking about what to do, how to raise funds to follow their mission.


Though the background team is working on making the support of the online communities stronger, it’s not a process that leads to success in an instant. But the boys wouldn’t want to just sit there doing nothing, so they started to distribute their flyers on the streets of Málaga, looking for a temporary job, media attention or small donations of food. They practically beg until they get a job and they're not happy about it, but it’s not easy to find one in the middle of a financial crisis and the holidays. During these days they “cruised” the streets of the city, wearing their backpacks and the publicity on their backs, to raise some attention (and they got some unrequested attention from the local police as well).


As the holidays pass they will try to contact the local media, they have a small statement written in Spanish. In a few weeks time a Hungarian magazine will feature a shared article about globetrotters and they will mention WorldWalk-Peacetour as well. Let’s hope that will bring our first sponsors.

Roaming the city center they stumbled upon an art exhibition in one of the pedestrian streets of Málaga, the Calle Larios. Renovated engines of old cars: Flying Horses, The Sculpture, King of the Road, Mythical Races, Glamour, Fire Power, Belle Époque, Art Nouveau, Eldorado, Copper Tower, Silver Jewel, etc. Click on any picture below to see the extended version.
