About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We are Dream Chasers, our dream is to go around the world and we are doing it!!!! How.... with a car made in 1928, plus with our kids that are made and born during the trip, we mix two dreams, to have a family and to travel

ABOUT ME

We are going for our Dream, even the car we have may be not the correct one, maybe with not all what we need, and so many things like not been a mechanic, not all the money... but if we don't do it know... when? How many chances we have to live in the most beautiful planet in the all universe? let's go, let's do it!
We drove from Argentina to Alaska, we sought it will take us 6 months to drive 20.000 kms, we drove 73.000 in 3 years and 9 months.... we run out of money, we went down the amazon in a raft that we built, we had a baby born... but the biggest reason to take us so long was the most beautiful thing of the road, a huge sourprise for us: People, the best thing God did on the planet... That's why now we choose to go to Asia... It's where the most people are.
We are going with the same car a Graham-Paige made in 1928 with wooden spokes and all original, with our two kids wich one was born in our way to alaska in 2002 and our second son whom was born in our way to Tierra del Fuego in 2005.
To finance our journey we wrotte Spark your Dream book that it is doing very, plus Cande's paintings.
We don't smoke, we don't drink, we don't do drugs.
We love life, and that is why we are traveling, to enjoy it, living different cultures, different life styles, different religions... the difference is what make us keep growing.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe that Dreams are the meaning of our life, if we mix love and dreams we got it all... and for our Dream we go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We where told to be part, and of course we want to be part, before we went for our dream we received so many travelers at home, then we were received for more than 800 families home through all America Continet. Back Home we received at home many of those who received us plus many more travelers... Now We are going to Asia and we know that will be a home away from home.

Interests

Our biggest interest of traveling is people, It was so nice to get to Machu Pichu but the best part was the people we met getting there... The mountains, The volcanoes... The ruins, citys, after a while traveling you notice that are not so important as to meet that person, the one who will teach you many things, will make you think...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be strong and brave enough to go for our dream, to leave our home, works, families, and the security to go to the unknow, to the danger, as was everyobody told us.
The best thing we did was to go for our dream. and even we went in car we couldnt put many things and we run out of money were the best years of our life, as we acomplished our Dream!

Teach, Learn, Share

We share what we learn going around the world, from amish, menonites, amazon indians, inuits, judes, mormons, musulmans, rich ones, poor ones... From priest to teachers... we still have to learn so much, but we can share what we feel, saw, and learned... and inspire someone to follow his or her dream.
