When Alex Chacon decided to travel the world, he decided to do it in an unusual way. Or rather, on a motorcycle. This University of Texas biomedical sciences graduate embarked on a long journey to make his dreams come true before taking up the practice of medicine in earnest. Alex filmed everything with a camera and a camera. By the way, this photo project, called "Modern Motorcycle Diaries", has become not only a personal project, but also a charitable event - the proceeds go to the non-profit organization "Children of Uganda".
