When we stumbled upon the Surfistas Travelogue we were blown away. It is authentic, well composed, beautifully and creatively layed out and 100% DIY. Venezuelan journalist Daniela Hernandez Pedraza was inspired to document her travels, her talented companions, and a slew of tricks and recommendations for navigating the trails she forged. On her own accord, she taught herself to create a publication with the accumulation of all that she collected.
We took a trip up to Venice beach, CA where she temporarily resides (always planning her next adventure) to spend a day in her shoes and talk to her in person about her project. It was no surprise that a day in the life of Daniela is just as carefree and inspirational as her journal.
Keep your eyes open for Travelogue #2 which will be available late this summmer. We can’t wait to get our hands on one of our own.
