Childhood and Early Years
German Zeppa and Candelaria Tinelli met in a rural village when they were young. German was 10 years old, and Candi was 8. Their friendship blossomed into love when Candi turned 14. They dreamed of traveling the world together.
The Big Journey Begins
Initially, German and Candelaria planned to delay having children until they had fulfilled their travel ambitions. However, their first son, Pampa, was born soon after they embarked on their Big Journey. They wrote their first book, "Atrapa Sueños", while traveling from Argentina to Alaska. The book became a bestseller at the Costa Rican International Book Fair.
A Family on the Move
Candelaria gave birth to their second child during their travels in Argentina. Since then, the Zeppa family has been on the road continuously. They traveled across North America, Canada, and Australia. Candelaria gave birth to their third and fourth children during their journeys in Vancouver Island and Australia, respectively.
Writing and Traveling
The Zeppas continued to write throughout their travels. They published "Atrapa tu Sueño" in Argentina, which became a bestseller in 2005. They translated it into English as "Spark Your Dream" and published it in the United States in 2007.
A Life of Adventure
The Zeppas' adventurous spirit has taken them to wild and remote places. They traveled through sprawling deserts in Australia, where the nearest gas station was hundreds of kilometers away. They sailed to New Zealand and explored the Philippines.
Unwavering Determination
Critics may question their choice of vehicle or financial planning, but the Zeppas' unwavering determination and resilience have propelled them forward. They have proven that with perseverance and willpower, anything is possible.
Future Plans
The Zeppas have charted out their future travels for the next 18 countries. Their journey has spanned a decade, and all four of their children were conceived and born in different countries. As they continue their extraordinary adventure, they inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter how ambitious they may seem.
