My Travel Story

by: Juan Velasquez Cruz Start Date: Jun 21, 2016 - End Date: Oct 18, 2016

So yes, we have decided to take a long shot on this adventure we have been dreaming of. Travelling Asia!!

We are a couple living in London, very passionate and committed about our jobs, Alexandra (23 from France), is a  singer, Juan (25 from Colombia) is a cocktail bartender, working in the heart of London (Barrio Bar Poland Street) in case you want to enjoy a drink :)

For Juan , it's a good window to try the flavors of the world, to explore the bitters, the passion, and the love for this profession in the other side of the globe , that would increase his knowledge about the art of Mixologist.

For Alexandra as a musician, it's the perfect opportunity to find inspiration, to get away from this big city that is London and dive into a culture she has never seen before, immerse herself into it to be able to write new materials.

We decided to go to Asia to discover different kinds of cultural heritage of many nationalities, and societies, also it's a way for Alexandra to connect with her roots, (half french, half vietnamese) as she never got to visit Vietnam.

To make you all a part of our experience we will upload everyday a little film of our adventure step by step, live music, vlogs, interviewing the locals and getting you all involve in our travel :) :) :)

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and for believing in this dream and helping making it true.
