Who started this?

We are Anjel Van Slyke and
Connal Hughes.

In August of ’09 we put our work on hold, sold off what we could, divided the rest between our parents’ garages, and set off to travel the world for a year.

In 381 days we visited 20 countries on 4 continents, traveling over 71,000 miles; 400 of them trekking and over 15,000 of them on motorcycle. We documented most of the trip on our travel blog: A Dangerous Business.

Now that we’ve returned, we’ve restarted our design business, but we’ve also started 35 Summers. It’s just the two of us for now, but while we were traveling we saw so many ways that little projects could make a big difference.

So that’s what we’re doing.
