Many people daydream about traveling the world, but all of them have the same excuse — lack of money. Tomislav, after traveling the world for years with almost no money, shows how it is possible for everyone to do the same, if they really want to.
Tomislav Perko, 29, is a travel writer from Croatia. After a career of a stockbroker, broke because of the financial crisis, he hits the road and turns it into his home. He uses alternative ways of traveling – hitchhiking, couchsurfing, working/volunteering, and manages to wander around the world with just a little bit of money in his pocket, meeting the most amazing people on the way.
Five years later, he publishes a book “1000 Days of Spring” and goes around giving lectures about what it means to live on the road. Find out more on his website: tomislavperko.com/en/.

Присутствуем ли мы при закате эпохи централизованных государств, массового общества и общеобязательных ценностей? Политологи выдвигают версию, что суверенитет государств размывается на двух уровнях: часть полномочий делегируется наднациональным союзам и договорам. Второй уровень — движения за права автономий и городских агломераций, концентрирующих финансовые, производственные и людские ресурсы. Лоскутное одеяло, конкуренция юрисдикций, сеть союзов — Первый мир не видел такого с тех пор, как централизованные абсолютистские монархии выиграли историческое соревнование. Они и сформировали наши представления о великом и ничтожном, рациональном и безумном, прогрессивном и отсталом. Времена меняются? Ценности меняются? Ориентиры сдвигаются? Но как и куда? Екатерина Шульман — российский политолог, специалист по проблемам законотворчества, доцент РАНХиГС.

Simple, profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema, exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be happy, we have to «stop outsourcing our happiness to other people» and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding. The whole crowd of 350 people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. Theres a little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing.
This talk was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her co-presenters, please visit tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
