The Pilgrim's Story

Saoirse (sear-shuh) n. Gaelic for freedom

My name is Saoirse and I am walking from Bristol in the UK to Porbandar in India without any form of money because I want my life to be my message. We live in a media packed world, where politicians and corporations market the talk, but don't walk the walk. So one day I decided to, literally, walk the walk.

So this pilgrimage, and especially this web-site, is my attempt to freebuild communities based on love and mutual service as opposed to money and credit.

For more about the background to the pilgrimage see the Philosofree page.

In every community I have lived in, each person has something to offer. On my pilgrimage I will be offering my services in whatever way I can, but at the same time, I will depend humbly on the true hospitality of others. This, to me, is symbolic of life; it is the meeting of complete freedom and complete interdependence.

So if you meet me or see me, use the password I give you to say where and when you saw me, where I was going to next and any comments you would like to add! You can also upload a photograph to prove I'm still alive!

I rely on this for communication to the world as I am going without money or technology, so opportunities for communication may be rare.
