book 2, travelling, includes book 2/1 and book 2/2
book 2/1
Travelling around the world, Alice and her team build an international network for the Easy Town Project.
Travelling with them are the past, personal demons and unwittingly the issue of sex.
Alice isn’t happy about being on this handshaking mission. She would much rather be with her main team in London and work on the town ideas.
But as each encounter in the different countries adds a challenge, an inspiration or a new question, Alice eventually concedes that this journey is worth all the trouble — and that the experiences will shape the future of the town project.
Besides, Alice enjoys most of the adventures, and her recklessness has the occasional field day.
The first part of the journey takes the travelling team to San Francisco, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, South Africa and Australia.
book 2/2
Refreshed from the holidays in Australia, the travelling team begin the second part of their journey around the world.
However, the visit to China is very different from everything the team have encountered so far, and the following stops couldn’t be more different either.
There are secret meetings, revelations, unexpected adventures, big questions regarding politics, economics, religion and society, the past bubbles up, new ideas take shape, danger keeps closing in, and that’s not even the half of it.
This second part of the journey takes the travelling team to China, Otaon in the Middle East, Romania, Russia and Berlin.
While book 1, beginning, introduces the town project, book 2, travelling, places the town ideas in a broader and international context.

Charlie Alice Raya
Charlie Alice Raya
explorer, creator, author & photographer
born in 1972 in the then divided city of Berlin.
Charlie Alice Raya writes explorative and Make it happen stories.
The easy town books (book 1-12) are an exploration into what kind of environment the human needs to thrive and that while restoring and coexisting with nature. The basis of this thought experiment is a town which is planned, built and eventually run by the main characters of the story. Pretty much every aspect of life in town, of human well-being, of business compositions and practices, of education, arts, health, ecology and agriculture are encompassed in this story, alongside with the character’s own journeys.
Charlie Alice Raya’s life offers so many peculiarities that a comprehensive background story is difficult to compile. But all the author’s studies, works, travels, experiences and traumata have become seeds for questions which enrich the author’s work.
Since 2019 the author focuses on the easy town books, and in summer 2021, they picked up their artistic photographic work again in support of the easy town projects. The same year, the author rewrote book 1, beginning, and completed both parts of book 2, travelling. In these books several ideas for businesses and for more towns were developed.
2022 saw the author build nine websites for the easy town projects & ideas, write an accidental book (the dot.story), and do some nine new photo series.
In 2023 the author’s body went on strike, after years of overwork.
In September 2024, the author returns with four new books (book 3/1, shaping, arrivals & shaping, book 3/2, entanglements & then there was silence, book 4/1, building, campaigns & getting started and The end of all wars, planet one, the roots of war. Plus there are six new websites and ideas for more: breastless, Views from around the universe, Charlie Alice cooks.
2024 also sees the author’s first serious steps into the public eye.
‘My work is like a bag of seeds. It’s full of questions, ideas and visions which can be picked up, planted, fertilised and nurtured to grow. I dedicate my work to rethinking what might need a rethink, to doing my bit for shaping life on our planet and to restoring our planet.’
Charlie Alice Raya, September 2024
