22 years of travelling!

As uncanny as it may sound, we have heard of an Argentine family who has finished the trip of a lifetime, returning home after travelling through five continents in a vintage car. Their 22-year journey came to an end at the Obelisk in Buenos Aires. Everyone in the family including the kids had a time of their lives. They did their studies remotely and with home learning. Now that they are back, in-person classes await them in Argentina.

About the family

The family has literally grown bigger in these 22 years of travelling. The couple managed things well and conveniently raised four children while travelling across the world. According to sources, Herman was 31 when the trip began and is now he is 53. Candelaria was 29 when the journey began and is now 51. Then they had a kid named Pampa, who is now 19-year-old born in the US, 16-year-old Tehua born in Argentina, 14-year-old Paloma in Canada and 12-year-old Wallaby in Australia.

How did they manage the finances?

You must be wondering about their primary source of income for all their travelling. Well, the family raised money via crowdfunding and by selling their book of adventures titled "Catching a Dream." So far, they have sold about 100,000 copies. Amazing, isn't it?
