Hi there! 

      Well, I’m easily recognised by rookie post-surf hair mess aka Don King hairstyle and smell like a carrot (whatever it smells like), other details may slip by when sketching me out…

 

BUT here I look quite sleek!  

still can see my annoying bubbly attitude that comes with sport shoes or weekend-catch-up clothes.

 

oh yeah, almost forgot — for about 33+ years named as Alena

More...

Dreamed of riding the horse across the sand sloping gently into limpid, shallow waters on the south coast…ugh didn’t happen.

 

But as a backpacker I had seen the sunsets from different parts of the globe, more in the Northern Hemisphere, gathered things, which I keen to share – from city dwellers, tourists and even from new generation blokes. I should thank them for making my journey even more fun, more weighty!

Yeah “weighty”...heavy, back curving burden by potatoes, cabbages, and whatever national foods and tools they could stick to my bag, skin, and hair — still guessing was it a nice host gesture or the tourist rip-off joke — tourist luggage, city’s trash…cleaner roads messy trolls…er trolleys 

 

Why WorlDare and why it was created?

The name WorlDare is quite simple, is it not? Combining 2 words and 2 meanings in one – World + Dare or World + Are (as a nerdy nerd the second is grammatically incorrect on its own but you got an idea).

 

Name just came to my head when I thought of ‘share and dare’ content …or “what in a f@#% worldahhh” just popped up in one moment …

 

As a one-week tourist, I couldn’t care less about how place does look like, what locals value, what culture do they have…pff rather heading to the most popular destinations during the off-tourist season — aka “save money live better”, and that’s borrowed (Walmart tagline).

 

But for a solid backpacker, before touring, many aspects MUST BE tapped in, which is actually launched that fun idea of challenge-share-dare web content.

 

…well thats not it…

 

my bad experiences (abroad) need to be tossed here, ingredients mixed (other scenarios) and served with the spicy seasoning (fun words to colour the story) …Ugh, got hungry now. To differ from other travel blogs  that, perhaps, are more info-set specialists of a city guide and hospitality matters and blah.

 

My fail time, including losing jobs, law violation, language gap (to bond with locals), and so forth — all from being abroad. Surely to get more “lesson learned” stories I teamed up with other daredevil.

Traveled the world?

Hey I did’t see it all, and never will 😒 the world is small but quite big when walking it through on two short legs. Ahem, Im an optimist just for a record. Indeed, I lived and worked in different countries that are quiet well-known to many folks – Russia, USA, UK, Germany, France, China… 

 

My traveling experiences involve a lot of documentations and financial loses. And yea, in many cases I could be smarter to “save money, live better” (this tagline again) . Well, guess I was a loyal Walmart’s client…

There are always better ways…alternative routes, not touching much of coins; precisely, in some cases could be completely free.

NOTE: “free” must comes with “safe”. 

How this travel website was build?

Was digging into website development on the way. Few years of experience in graphic design (since 2016) helped.

 

It took me about a year and a half to really get it going – set the website idea, collect the data, chose and pay for web-hosting, create web pages, write the content, test website’s technical tools, create a logo, add graphic design plugins  —  Voila! Run the website with decent and interesting content. Must confess, at times it was stressful and mind-blowing creating a funky punky web source.

 

However, I was fully dedicated (non-paid working, motivated by an idea 😄🙈) lived on savings to create a website where ideas, perhaps, weird adventures would be shared. 

 

Collect, write, and illustrate all the content is my duty. Pictures that Im using in Worldare are usually free or made by my friends and me

 

When I can I always give a link to other trusted and valid website that fits the rule : content related, legit, secure and trusted source.
