Hi Paul.T.,
I've been wandering and wondering ever since I left my parents home at 17 years old!
I left the UK at 22, lived in Barcelona for a time, then Paris for another and moved on to Geneva and Basel in Switzerland. Now I live here in Northeastern Brazil and all of this before 'safe places' were thought about!
I think the urgency you are thinking about is possibly the tipping point which is making you do something that perhaps youhave already been wanting to do for some time, get your own piece of turf and go self sufficient.
In terms of safe places, it depends on what you think the dangers could be. If you think tidal waves are going to be the problem, then higher land would be the answer. If earthquakes are what you find to be the threat, then way out of San Frasisco could very well be the wise thing to be. However, before investing in other countries, legalize your status there so that no hicups occur later on and you find out that you've lost everything.
Not wanting to sound too Dhali Lama or Guru, I used the vast majority of my initial travelling time doing some soul searching and being on my own gave me the time and space to find out more about myself. So now I'm content, as I know where I'm coming from and I can now not only communicate better, in spite of me having to speak Portuguese down here, I am resolved and more confident.
If you are a stable person mentally and are prepared to rough it some time, well most of the time, go for it. Don't try to become too Indiana Jones to begin with, do things by simple small stages and before you know it you will have a year or so behind you full of wonderful and sometimes difficult experience. I know, I've been 'away' for over 30 years! At the beginning of my journey, my family thought I was nuts. Now they're envious. Go figure.
Good luck and be strong.
Best regards,
Steve

For the last year I have been caught up with the sense of urgency to find some land and get prepared, yada, yada yada!!
The only problem was that there were more questions than answers.
like many others, I have read on this site they seem to have the same questions,
where is a safe place?
a) for earth changes
b) for martial law
c) for thermonuclear war
d) all the above
where is the most affordable property?
whos selling?
who's building communities?
People looking for like-minded to start communities
People wanting to join communities...then we want to be accepted for who we are to join them or have to have a certain mindset to get into one!!!
I have come to the conclusion that we are all part of a growing community already.
AVALON!!!!
and we are everywhere!!!!!
But for myself I have decided that to try to answer these questions and make decisions out of neccessity would probably be detrimental to my spiritual growth. I am choosing to spend 2010 out somewhere roaming in America searching for those answers, for myself.
I can't count how much time I have wasted searching the internet for property, communities, reading about different places for awakening the spirit.
you can't get, IMHO, a sense, a feeling, or a vibe on any of these things until you go, see and feel for yourself.
This is why I am asking if anyone else is feeling this too.
I thought it would be good to relate our travel experiences on things we find for all to share. what I may find may not be suitable for me but may be what someone else is looking for.
we could perhaps have locations for meetups and who knows, we could have a caravan of AVALON members on a QUEST!!!
My personal intent is to help people wherever I may be and to share what I am awakening to. In hopes of raising the consciousness of those I meet along the way.
Consider it a "MOBILE GROUNDCREW" (of 1, at the time of this writing)
I have more ideas about this.
But the one thing that I should say is, I know time is short but, I chose not to live any longer determining my actions by what may be. I chose to live it free in search of what my purpose is.
wherever I end up ( and if there are others with me) then thats where I need to be.
your thoughts?
Paul
