Of course this trip is only possible because so many people, coops and other organisations are helping me make it happen. I can always use more help and am very keen to be of mutual benefit.
​
I am taking bookings for talks both during and after the trip and there's soon to be a clever app on the contact page to do that. And I'm also very, very happy to get donations (contribute towards a warmer coat for Canada, a waterproof bag for the voyage, actual travel insurance for sailing, etc, etc, etc).
This Paypal button doesn't work in Firefox :-(
One thing I've learnt so far on this trip is that it's really good to hold multiple different currencies. So there are multiple ways to give me monetary units:
-
for donations in USD or Euros click on the button for a Paypal donation (their new terms & conditions say I'm not allowed to tell you that I don't like them)
-
transfer sterling to my UK bank account: 01490787, 08-90-72
-
download a FairCoin wallet, then contact me so I can send you a payment address
-
If you're a member of a LETS scheme, TimeBank, EcoXarxa or other local currency network, you may be able to donate social currency units via my Co-operativa Integral Catalana account. Click the link and scroll down to see the list of compatible Community Exchanges.
