LUNES SANTO, Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca- Mxico. On Monday during the Holy Week in Easter, the Zapotecs of XiGuiea (Teotitlan del Valle) make a procession that lasts all day, they take Jesus Christ and Virgin Mary walking around the town on the main streets they stop at every main corner, where the build Sacred Houses made with rugs. Here they stop, pray and give offerings to God. The brass band accompanies during all the procession, candles and flowers decorate the scenes. I imagine this procession is an evolution of ancient pilgrimages carried out by our ancestors. Exactly during this season people are waiting for the first rain and begin to prepare the land for the up coming farming cycle. I can Imagine the image of the God of the rain being taken out of the temples to the streets where Zapotec offer corn, incense, flowers, etc...LUNES SANTO, Teotitlan del Valle, Oaxaca- Mxico.

We Travel was born from a love for travel, passion for storytelling and a dream to share it with the world. Taking a camera and a backpack he left Australia travelling through New Zealand, US, Mexico and Bali capturing his experience and sharing it with friends. The feed back was positive and the response overwhelming. It gave him the drive to continue creating and sharing despite a lack of funding and financial hardship. During 2012, Sam took to the road in his van across Australia. Joining him were a bunch of travellers from across the globe, hes mission was to take them on a search for adventure and provide them with a unique Australian experience. The Goal - To create a global community of travellers, a platform in which they share their experiences of travel and the places they go. We are embarking on branding a sub culture in which travellers all across the world can associate with. Through social media content, we engage our audience with a web based documentary series which captures the spirit and essence of travel. It takes the viewer on a journey off the beaten track and gives a unique insight into the life of a traveller. We would like to Inspire the next generation of young world travellers Get Involved - Travellers are encouraged to participate in the videos, wether it be in front of the camera or behind. we are all about capturing, creating and sharing unique travel experiences that inspire for generations to come Our product is personal, travellers can share the videos they participate in with
