«I HAVE A DREAM»

Amongst many other things it had been my dream to travel all around the world. Until the year 2016, I have realized this dream to a certain extent. Despite my young age of 18 years I have travelled already to Canada, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, the Maldives, Spain, England, Turkey, Greece, France, Germany, Tunisia, Ireland, Italy and Croatia. My next travel destination also had already been booked: In summer 2016 i was meant to discover Cuba.

But on May 27, 2016, my destiny has directed me towards a different path, to a destination very far away. I now find myself on the Anders Star (zodiacal sign: lion, celestial coordinates: right ascension 10h 19m 58s, declension: 19° 50m 30s). By the way, in a clear night you can observe my star and those of you who take a real close look may see me smiling at you. Now, from my new place I can not frankly realize this dream to travel around the world. This is why I need your help.

During my early years of travelling, I have not been thinking at the fact that I was not leaving any traces which would represent a testimony or proof of my stay abroad. But now I feel this strong desire that the traces of my world tour should be identifiable and traceable. For this, I have found a brilliant solution, in the form of the «Anders-Stone».

Now, what is the goal of my idea?

It is my deepest wish that the «Anders-Stones» can be found all over the world. This as a sign, that we are all linked together in a certain way. I once had been told that if you know 7 people, then you know the world. This is exactly what I want to prove with my project. It is like a snowball system, but mine is of course without any financial interest or impact, as it is otherwise often the case with snowball systems. My point is that thanks to your help I may continue to travel all over the world. To observe the beauty of nature through your eyes and to share these magic moments with you from my domicile at the «Anders-Star». With this initiative, I would like to let you know and make you feel that I am still part of the whole. And that with your help my wish and dream will come through. With the help of my legendary charm, I have already experienced an enthusiastic support for my idea, starting from June 2016. For this reason you are able to find already many beautiful «Anders-Stones» in the gallery. But as I am young and not being very patient at all my feeling is that the project is not progressing quick enough. This is exactly the reason why I am asking you to produce «Anders-Stones» and to place them across the world. I have a dream: I would like that there will be so many banners (showing and covering all the places where an «Anders-Stone» has been placed) so that in a few years the world map can not be seen anymore!

This would be so cool!! I am so much convinced that this can and will work! My sincere thanks go to you and I assure you that I will be with you when you paint the «Anders-Stone» as much as I will be with you at the moment when you take the picture and place the stone. And I’ll be with all of you who will look at all those magnificent photos.

I am looking so much forward to travel with you and thanks to you. For those of you who do not know me but still feel the desire to participate – please feel welcome ! You will find below the manual how to produce with the «Anders-Stone» and in the tab «Anders Bodenmann» you will find my curriculum vitae with additional information about me.

How does it work?

1. Paint a stone

It is so easy! Just take a stone of your choice and paint at least the following 3 elements on it:

On the back-side of the stone, please write the link to the website: www.anders-stone.com.
This will allow people who did discover an «Anders-Stone» somewhere to find out what is hidden behind this mysterious stone. And who knows, they may then become participants as well. Remember – I talked about the snowball system…

2. Take a photo

Please feel free and be encouraged to let work all your creative forces. Where ever you are, place the «Anders-Stone» at a place which is special to you and take a photo. Then just leave the stone there.

3. Upload the photo
