About

Hi, we are Joel Friend and Emilia Beattie and we have been travelling the world together over the last 3 years! We love crazy adventures and traveling to more remote places. Join us as we travel this beautiful world! :)

Video Description

We visit China's most futuristic city, also known as China's Silicon Valley, exploring a city which is leading the world in technology. Shenzhen is a city which was just a small fishing village in the 1970s but has grown into a tech powerhouse of 18 million people in 2025. We use Shenzhen's drone delivery service, we use a driverless taxi's, view a robotics showroom and the incredible lights this city has when night falls!
