Herman Zapp (40) was born in San Francisco, CA. and raised in Argentina.  

Candelaria Zapp (38) was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

They both grew up in the country, among ponies and cousins. At eight and ten years of age they met and the impossible love that they felt at that time grew and became a reality when she was 14. For another 10 years, they dated and grew up together with a dream accompanying them. But after six years of marriage, they took their first steps pushed by their desire to have children. They said, “First let’s complete our dream, then we’ll have children” and it couldn’t have been a better way: their first son arrived together with the dream, one dream inside another. During the trip to Alaska, they printed their first book: “Atrapa Sueños” which was the best selling book of the international Book Fair of Costa Rica. This was enlarged, translated into English “Dream Chaser” and printed seven more times and when they got to Alaska they had sold out 12 thousand copies only by sales from the car during the trip. 

The trip was a big dream, but when it was over, their dream was not. They returned to Argentina and wrote the book “Atrapa tu Sueño” which became a best-seller in Argentina, following publication in 2005. They translated and edited it into English, “Spark your dream”, and published it in 2007.

They traveled all around Argentina where their second boy was born. Since then they didn't stop. The car was shipped to Florida and started a new journey driving through different roads. They head north to Montreal, then west to Vancouver Island where their princess Paloma was born and finally they went south till Los Angeles, CA.

Currently, they are in  Australia, they are poised to head south and north-west and cover 21 more countries around Oceania and Asia. They’ve already been 8 years on the road, and have had three children, all conceived and born in different countries while traveling. Some may say they may not have the ideal car to circle the world, and some may say they don’t have the required funds needed, but when you read the book and the many extraordinary experiences they have had, you will likely come to believe that they have the perfect car, all the resources they need and they have something more important than anything else; the willingness to chase and accomplish their dreams. Even expecting their fourth baby, won’t stop them!
