How we organised this project and our exact program.

We knew this trip was going to be an adventure of a lifetime. So we had to organise this event precisely but our challenge was to think about how we were going to fund our trip.

We decided to stay 3 months extra in the city of London and work during our summer holiday. When you feel it’s a big opportunity, the motivation comes along and it was a pleasure to stay in London and work in London.

We stayed in contact with Deepak and we had a few Skype calls in order to organise this trip.
