Portugal has something to offer the world..............
The BOOM Festival ! Once every 2 years only!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6fEWTg5FAY
Boom's main focus is to integrate a sustainability ethos with arts and culture. By design, it does not provide corporate entertainment or sponsors. The key goal is to provide a transformational festival for people of different ethnic backgrounds, nationality and ages. In its own words, "Boom is not only a festival, it is a state of mind. Inspired by the principles of Oneness, Peace, Creativity, Sustainability, Transcendence, Alternative Culture, Active Participation, Evolution and Love, it is a space where people from all over the world can converge to experience an alternative reality."
The festival is entirely funded by ticket sales. It does not use corporate sponsors, which eliminates marketing that is seen as visual pollution.
Well i don't know why people go but apparently the Festival is a big success, all tickets (35,000) are sold out well in advance of the Festival. People come form all over the world. From the videos i guess people want to escape from our world. During 10 days people really escape! Peace & Love.
For people who want to escape from our world Portugal has also a different offer. If you buy a house in the mountains in Portugal you can get:
1.Cheap house
2.Beautifull envoirment & decent weather. Wild Horses near your door.
3.Local neighbors that you can exchange products with
4.You can have your cattle that goes to the field on their own in the morning and come back at night to their stables (They don't get confused)
5.You can buy or cook your own bread
6.You can have a bit of civilization with internet
7.Decent & cheap Hospitals at 50 km
8.A church
9.You can go to restaurants very cheaply
10.You can invite you family & friends in a very cheap way for some unforgetable hollidays
11.You can live in harmony with nature.
12.You can bath in a river with very cold water and drink it while you bath
You can have your AYN RAND world in a easy way. In the country side you have to produce anything and trade with your neighbors. There is no state to fund you. If you don't work you are not respected.
I guess people call this Downshifting!
Downshifting is a social behavior or trend in which individuals live simpler lives to escape from the rat race of obsessive materialism and to reduce the “stress, overtime, and psychological expense that may accompany it”.[1] It emphasizes finding an improved balance between leisure and work[2] and focusing life goals on personal fulfillment and relationship building instead of the all-consuming pursuit of economic success.
