Urban Camping: Motel Mozaique Festival Rotterdam

Urban Camping

In a foreign country at the end of my marriage, I traveled nomadically for 11 months staying in 24 places throughout Holland, Portugal, Canada, USA, Brazil and Argentina before buying a home.

It made such an impression on me that I intentionally set out on a second nomadic trip to further explore the concepts of mobility, simplicity, and perspective. While doing my graduate degree, I camped in 30 places in 55 weeks. Now I host urban nomads through the Couchsurfing Project.

Motel Mozaique Festival Rotterdam

Also mark your calendars for the 6th annual Motel Mozaique festival on 14-16 April 2006 in Rotterdam.

Programs at about 10 different locations showcase new and upcoming movements in pop music, dance, theatre and the visual arts, as well as crossovers between these disciplines.

Part of the Motel Mozaique tradition is that locations are creatively turned into motels where visitors can sleep over while artist collectives arrange breakfast and other items of comfort.

It's just one more way to urban camp in Rotterdam!

About Me

Name: Jennifer Metz

Location: Rotterdam, Netherlands

Thinking outside the box
by getting out of my box.

I want mobility:
Get-up-and-go in the global village. Navigation to other vantage points. What does the world look like from there? Is there room to move? Or am I tied down to my stuff?

I want simplicity:
Real needs and wants are fewer than they sometimes seem. 'Accumulation' is as inevitable as death and taxes. Can I prune back the attention-stealing stuff to give space to the useful and meaningful things?

I want perspective:
Understanding of how multi-faceted life is. Consideration of options. Is the world getting smaller? Or is MY WORLD getting smaller? How many viewpoints have I seen so far? Is there a 'road less traveled' or a million billion different roads? Can I 'get out of the woods' and look for multiple angles?
