Isnt it time to hear voice of the young generation here...
Almost 63 here, have met hundreds of Hub fans since many years, have great friends among adventure travellers, have had many talks not including problems/solutions of long distance and adventure travelling but also on how to make the world more peaceful, friendly incl.humanity supports..We call it the way of hub. and feel its getting behind the new age now..For eg.Still no HUB. recommended countrywide repair shops,biker friendly hostels rtw. which can be accepted to the hub list with a door or wall sticker against a fee and by recommandations of travellers..
I guess average age of the followers and voices here is around 50.s.And our generation is becoming techonology disabled!! The truth and best solution is not only the one we know with our experiences..So I think hearing voices of the younger generation is going to be needed more and more in all stages including here..I even started learning new developments from my son too.Yes, after some age its very hard to get updated with new technologies but being able to applicate and use it seems more useful...
This is all personal idea and here goes some ideas,offers to the big boss and big brothers (this is used as a well experienced in oriental countries) for a start so as to see young generation more crowded here..
1-HUB travellers festival...Can be organized inside say undeveloped or developing countries instead of europe,usa,canada.These countries are always home countries not a destination or target for adv.travellers.. Australia is still a destination and target..
2-Gifts for each article written in ezine (a t-shirt for eg.) and new members of hub (a pair of stickers), gifts for participants of hub meetings for all aged say under 30.s.
3-Making cooperation with travellers/adventure clubs of universities,the mayors, local authorities even ministries of sport and young of the target countries to make speeches during meeting/festival time which can be organised just after a local festival..
4-As a start for all new steps, an important point is to have a well known, respected, powerfull volunteer in all the countries who will be offered and elected by the local travellers/members here..Will be better if someone in the local automobile,bike production or service industry will be appointed..
As said before,these are all personal ideas for a better and more peacefull world which we have been unable to build for them but believe they will build it, and also using the traditional friendly hub way..
Best Wishes and selams all...
