== Ideas ==
===Specific countries in the zine===
Hey, would it be an idea to choose an x-amount of countries to present and focus on in each issue? Am thinking of focusing on 2-3 nations, maybe located on different continents. I can offer to collect my information and knowledge e.g. for [[Syria]] or [[Bulgaria]].

: Perfect idea. I am not sure how many featured countries/ cities we can cover but three seems to be a pretty good challenge to work towards, just fire off Syria for example and then we can see in what format we want to put it in. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 12:06, 18 August 2008 (CEST)

===City-Survival / Featured skills===
Other ideas: city-survival (how to do this or that), featured skills (what skill do you use while traveling and making money?), etc. --[[User:Robino|Robino]] 12:06, 18 August 2008 (CEST)

==Issue 0==
The idea is to give each issue a separate theme. Themes for the first issue would be 'the modern nomad', Syria and another country. [[Robino]] started collecting stories from and interviews with people that have been/ are living a nomad life and who can help to inspire others, or who have tips and tricks, etc. [[Platschi]] is working on the [[Syria]] feature.

There is no limit to your creativity, if you want to [[Random Roads/Submit|submit]] drawings related to this, cartoons or photos, for example, that would be great.
