As I had begun my morning routine drinking coffee and lighting a cigarette I hadn’t noticed the traveler who had opened the door and was nearly 7m away from me . He took me by surprise .
His long brown hair was covered by a green hat with the bottom part cut out . I could see 3 rastas rising from the hat . He had old red worn out shoes and green dusty pants with a shirt that looked like it had been in use for many , many years …His face was covered by a 2-3 month beard and if you looked closely you could see some wrinkles near his eyes . But nevertheless the eyes were friendly – unbelievably friendly .
He asked for bread while saying that he is from Italy and walked here .I offered him chicken but he immediately refused saying that he is a vegetarian .After some looking around I found a piece of bread that was laying in the corner in the fridge .
I made some tea and found out that the guy was 41 years old and a walking traveler .He had no money and was traveling to write his books about philosophy and travels .We shared our sories and for a minute It was funny to know that a walking traveler and a hitchhiking traveler were drinking tea talking about traveling .
Hes a vegetarian with no money , no direction and only walks never taking a ride from anyone , without any transport to walk the whole world .He hates to cause any harm to the nature and decided not to use any petrol in any means .
He said that he didn’t like to stay in one place for too long and was on his way out .But since we forgot each others names we introduced ourselves finally .So he left with his last words.
His last words :
Traveler : Your name….Raimond …..Its french . Rai meaning King…Mond meaning (the whole)World .
Me : Not forgetting my last name : Soon …
King of the World Soon .
He left with a smile never to return .
Raimond Soon
