Remember two years ago when Akomplice did a tour around Colombia and Venezuela? If so then you know, if not here’s what we did. Last time we did a series of fashion shows joined together with hip-hop shows featuring MainFlow. We traveled in a crew of 6-15 people deep. The stops included Caracas Venezuela, Cartagena Colombia, Panama City, and Bogota Colombia. Well… we couldn’t forget how dope it was so we decided to trek back down to South America and taste some more of the Latin life. Our trip this time is a little more flexible, spending time in the mountains of Colombia, the deep deep barrios of Cartagena, and the comfortable beach life in Boca Grande. After only nine days here, I can be the first to say my life will never be the same. This trip will reflect in everything I do, the experiences will resurface in every project we create, but especially the new ideas we have gained from the culture and life. If you wanna check where we are, hit  google maps and type Cartagena, Colombia. This is the first post from our trip, check back for in depth stories and pictures.
