On the 1st of August 2022, I set up the crowdfunding website for “The Journey”, so that people who like my content can support me and be part of “The Journey”. 3 months has passed, I’m spoiled by you all, from all the coffee and the kind words I’ve received. For every cup of coffee you’ve given is telling me that my works worth your appreciation. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much!
To run this blog and make video, there are cost to pay like the domain, Dropbox, Epidemic Sound Subscription (music). I need to travel, visit concerts and read books for inspirations, these are the content that I am providing here. Hence, there will be travelling fees, accommodation, books, museum and concert tickets. If I’m filming for a whole day, I need one more battery for my camera, memory card and hard disk (in case there is no fast internet to back up my file on Dropbox).
Also my time – the invaluable resource that I put into this. The article “Does the 13th month exist” took me 2 weeks to finish and publish. My friend witnessed the little post “Love Remains – Hohenzollern Bridge Sketch” took me 3 hours. From choosing which picture to use, processing the picture, editing the picture and considering which word to use in 3 languages. To edit a video is a mammoth task to me. I am not complaining, I am just sharing behind the scenes, the iceberg that below the water’s surface.
“The Journey” can compare to a magazine (Blog) and a TV channel (Youtube), only it’s free because I am happy that we share the same interest in travel, music and literature. It is still work, in fact, a lot of work even though it is free. So if you’ve read 10 articles and like them all, if it’s affordable for you, you can support me by buying me a cup of coffee.

For all the coffeesssssssss that I have already received, I value the “coffee” you’ve given me. You have encouraged me greatly. THANK YOU!
