Down/the Line was born as a web journal, documenting the day to day between surf, travel and life in a van. The idea was to share the spirit of far away lands and inspire people to get out there.

THIS IS US AND OUR GREAT AMERICAN JOURNEY
We are Mathieu and Ingrid Liot. A multicultural couple living on the road since February 2015. We are both surfers, artists, and highly aware of the need for change in human consciousness.
Our journey began in Sag Harbor, New York, and our ultimate goal was to get to Patagonia by van, rolling through the Panamerican Highway and surfing all the way down south. We achieved this incredible dream on April, 2019 finishing a journey that changed our lives forever.
We documented our daily lives through photography, illustrations, video and audio recording. We explored the way others live and shared experiences with people we met along the way. We wanted to celebrate the spirit of exploration, in the greenest possible way.
This adventure started as an impossible dream that we couldn't stop dreaming. The path we tookt taught us every day, some times with hard lessons. We wish to share our journey and hopefully inspire you to take the first step into the unknown. If you don't try, you will never know.
As we traveled we realized that we were also looking for a possible place to settle down, somewhere to call our own home. We fell in love with Chile, and after selling our beloved van, we bought a plot in the south, where we are currently building our permanent home. A new adventure began for us with this project, moving to a new country in the middle of a pandemic, with our hearts full of dreams, even in difficult times. And here we are now.
