'Living everywhere'

This week I will sleep everywhere but home, We do this research because our community doesn't have to be a village, when you have an appointment somewhere else for work, it is very nice to sleep also in this city close-by where you have to go to. So this is what i am going to do.

Monday - Tuesday > sleep at home in Arnhem > Tuesday i have my work @Fons Kooymans in Arnhem

Tuesday - Wednesda > sleep at Gosia in Zwolle > Wednesday i have to be @ArtEZ in Zwolle

Wednesday -Thursday > sleep at Xiaomin in Zwolle > Thursday i have to be @ArtEZ in Zwolle

Thursday - Friday > sleep at Fenne in Wageningen > Friday i have to be @ArtEZ in Arnhem

At the end of the week I will answer these questions:

- Can we create the feeling of a community without an actual physical community?

yes! I had much more contact during this week with other students. - Can we create a home together without our physical home? yes! I think its possible when you have different houses in every city, who are all the same

- How would it feel to travel with your needs everywhere?

That should be amazing! To have a hotel room in every city were you work, with all your needs,

and all your colleges from work also, to have some social contact

- What do we need in these days?

What is most important is social contact, during this week i used my electronica less.

- What are the advantages and the disadvantage of living without your home?

it was a big advantage to plan were we are going to sleep. and pack everything at the start of the week

- What will it do to you physically and mentally?

I felt really tired, because of a bad mattress and sharing room. The last night when I slept by Cille I slept really good, I think it is because I had more privacy. (and because i was really tired)

The rules:

- We will sleep 3 nights in a row at somebody else his home.

- For every night, we must find a new host.

- We are not allowed to go home while we are in this experiment.

- We must eat at somebody’s place. Try to have breakfast (, lunch) and dinner.

- We will post a daily blog online.

Tuesday morning, I left home at half past 8 to go to my work. I brought al my stuff with me for backpacking for 3 days. I had actually not so much stuff with me. It was hard to think about what you had to take with you or not. And also because we have a deadline, you must really think about what you need to bring with you.

After my work, I met Cille at the train station and we went to Zwolle. I was thinking in the train already about things I forgot like a saddle cover & lights for my bicycle. I hope I don’t discover more things I will forgot. Cille react on it, that it should be nice if we have a rule that we are not allowed to buy anything in those days in the shop. Together with Cille I had dinner in a nice restaurant called ‘Brasserie Jansen’ We had dinner in the restaurant because we could not yet go to our sleeping place. At 9.30

was available half past 9 in the evening, after dinner I had together with Cille I went together with Gosia to her studenthouse.Morning! Gosia

We talked about things like school and experience we had. Gosia wanted that I slept in her bed and she in the airbed, that was really kind. I had a good night. The next morning we had to go to school, so we prepared, having a shower, making breakfast etc. The breakfast was really nice actually. But gosia told that she eat normally Oatmeal, but today she did a more special breakfast, with bread, tea, scrambled egg and avocado.

Morning! Yesterday after school I went to Xiaomin her Airbnb stay, also Gosia joined us. We had dinner together which Xiaomin made for us. After Dinner, we went to the bar, together with Cille en Ashley. It was fun to see each other after school, nice to be together.

Xiaomin was a really kind host, she even bought warm slippers I could ware during my stay there.

I did not have a good sleep this night (slept on an air bed, without pillow) I miss my own bed and I’m really tired, I missed to do my own rituals in my own house.
