We want to invite you on our journeys, share our traveling experiences, joys, fears, thoughts and above all, our moments of yūgen.
After being 7 months traveling, was time to go back to our base in Barcelona. We will gather all the content we created during our last travels, organize it and share it with you. Feel free to follow our next adventures through our journal and social networks.
