Laura Martin Sastre / Not everyone is able to drop everything for a dream. And not all think of others when wish fulfillment. Yes is the case of Cristina Lucas and Juan Luis García. She, at 32 years, working on a renewable energy company, a job he had already tired, he could apply for leave from one year to fulfill his dream of traveling the world (if not entirely, if 19 countries), a dream that he chased fears, all were finally defeated. "It's not something that arises from day to day. This is a dream something that is beating in your heart every day and becoming increasingly larger. The fact is that dreams can ignore them, leave them like that, like dreams, or consider the challenge to make them reality. That's what we did. It was a decision not easy, the fears that haunt you are enormous. We gave ourselves a whole year to close all our affairs in Spain before leaving, "says Cristina Lucas Solidar Tribune.

returned months after starting the adventure, and the baggage they brought stories and unforgettable experiences, all transported to 'A world tour in verse', a book containing all the excitement of this adventure in the form of poems, written by Juan Luis and accompanied by pictures of Cristina. A work that captures the spirit recovers and more supportive of two people who traveled to lend a hand to solidarity projects, as Craig says, "We did not just travel, it was for this reason that we take very seriously ask goals that move beyond the simple journey of traveling. Since our main objective knowing the reality of our world beyond what the media told us about it, we decided to visit at least a local social movement in each of the countries we visited. In this way we were getting to know the problems of the country from the hands of those who are struggling to solve. Thus, two techniques used to convey so many feelings, poetry and photography as the perfect combination to shape your reality. "Juan Luis For poetry is the best way to convey the feelings that we experienced from the mine bottom of our hearts. Traveling alone words fly, as if to flow with the feelings of what surrounds us and themselves in an incredible union. One way of uniting the different nationalities, cultures and lifestyles that are present on this planet. The book illustrations also appear in this case made by me, accompanying each of the countries as a way to capture the eyes of every people, "said Cristina.
Before publishing the book and with the aim of spreading these realities during the trip were counting their homes and feelings in a blog, www.massalerosvueltaalmundo.blogspot.com , they wanted to "I can show through my pictures and poems of Juan Luis, the sensations experienced during the trip. With all that we set out a book around, and it is for this reason that today we can present "A Round the World in Verse" by the pseudonym Rezcia Isan. In parallel we were doing interviews with long-distance travelers and creating networks that we hope some day bear fruit, "says Cristina. When asked about the most positive of this experience did not hesitate: "The best thing has ever been with who we have shared with strangers who are now part of our history. For us the most beautiful of the trip, the most special were the people have known of countries and cultures so different from ours but at the same time, as equals "and in connection therewith says one of the most special charity projects, the English NGO collaborates Burma, with which" we were working as volunteers in Mae Sot (Thailand). They work to improve the quality of life of Burmese refugees in Thailand. Our experience there was awesome. We can say that far from us who were we taught them children, showed us our values \u200b\u200bare often forgotten in societies like ours, rich in technology but in humanity sometimes poor. " For this reason we were particularly connected with this project which they considered this a "forgotten reality, because the Burmese people has nearly 50 years under the oppression of one of the cruelest dictatorships exist, where human rights are virtually nonexistent, and transferred internal and external in the millions. In fact about 3 million immigrants have crossed the river that separates them from Thailand, and have come to this country with the hope of improving their lives, far from reality as the situation in Thailand could not be starker.

And around Cristina and Juan Luis wanted, in addition to publishing the book and present it as a way to raise awareness of the situation, the reality of this people, wanted to "contribute to Collaborate Burma, a NGO created by young English people who have left everything in our country to help improve the living conditions of the displaced population in Thailand. In this spirit we wanted to join the book launch with the publication of a calendar entitled "Perspectives for 2011 Burmese." The photos that illustrate this calendar out of time spent both within and outside the country, with eyes looking to be heard we need to support their dignity as people and as human beings. The books offer presentations are accompanied by this calendar, with our commitment to that part of the proceeds from the sale of books in all our presentations go for this young NGO, collaborates Burma. "
the case of giving solidarity, inspiration and art at Christmas, there is no better example.
