What we always tell people who dream of buying a VW Bus is: You are not buying just a car, you are also buying the “membership” of a large community of people who help each other, no matter where you are in the world. In every country, you find mechanics dedicated exclusively to VW’s. They have always welcomed us with open arms.

At this very moment, I am writing this from the garage of Cupido Motorizado, a repair shop dedicated to these beautiful vehicles. Today we came back for the third time just to say hello because we are already very close friends of this beautiful family, who has helped us a lot. They gave us a place to stay while our VW Bus was getting fixed. We have shared many lunches, dinners, trips around the city, and many good conversations. All because of the passion that binds us together.

Having a VW Bus is eye-catching to others and people empathize very quickly and very well with it. It creates a certain sense of friendship. For example, they take a lot of pictures of us along the way. That helps us a lot when we stop to sell our crafts.

We can’t mention just one, it’s impossible. However, I can tell you that climbing the Parón Lagoon in Peru was a super challenge. Which has had its good reward with the impressive place, where our fat girl took us (the VW Bus, we call her our fat girl). Having traveled half a continent, it is South America itself, with its incredible and dissimilar landscapes that is the destination which we have liked the most.

Don’t think too much, let it go, your way will bring you everything you need when the time is right. Patience.
