İZMİR - “Rivers cross the seas without passport, the people should be like the rivers,” said Eşe Güngör travelling around the world to not have a mechanized life in which the people are imprisoned in their homes and their jobs.

‘Mechanization is less in places where capitalism isn’t established’

 

Eşe sells the stones and pictures they had got from their travelled places. She is hitch-hiking to travel. She said that the people have kept their warmth in where the capitalist culture hasn’t been fully practiced.

 

‘We should travel to break down the prejudices’

 

Emphasizing that the people are acquainted with different culture while travelling different countries, Eşe said she learned Farsi while stating in Iran for 40 days. “Rivers cross the seas without passport, the people should be like the rivers,” said Eşe.
