Our project

We have already presented the protagonists of the story: Caris and I (http://happytravelling.canalblog.com/archives/1__introduction__english_/index.html)

We have also presented the star: our superb Combi (http://happytravelling.canalblog.com/archives/2__buenos_aires__english_/index.html)

It is now time to introduce our project: AA (no, nothing to do with some U.S. airline)

Many projects a little crazy come from a childhood dream. The person who tells his/her story can then say "It was a childhood dream. I'm glad I did."

In our case, our project is not one of those. It is a dream of two people who do not comply with the reality of adults, two people who dream constantly and have never found any reason not to fulfill their dreams, two people who think that postponing a dream does not make sense, two people who find that life is neither short nor long, but it has just the perfect length to live their dreams.
Therefore, we can tell our story, saying "It was a dream of one day, it will probably take long to fulfill it but at least we began to make it real the day after that day."

AA will require us to know three languages, will make us go tens of thousands of miles, will make us face all climates from the warmest to the coldest. Our project is to drive our Combi from Argentina to Alaska. We are neither the first nor the last to make the journey by car, but we are unique, our Combi as well and therefore our project is also unique.

The duration of this project: we could say six months or two years or anything else. The truth is that we have no idea. Does it matter?

The first stage of the journey: down from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia via the Andes and then back to Buenos Aires by the Atlantic Coast.

Going south nearly 3000 kilometers whilst we are supposed to go north may seem a bit odd but if we are to travel the American continent, we might as well do it the right way.

To ensure the financial part of this project we are implementing a number of profitable activities (presented below with humor but nonetheless all very serious, Caris and / or I having expertise in each of them):

Sponsorship:
You find our project interesting and innovating? You think our website and our Combi are great media for your business?

We propose you to establish adequate publicity to suit your needs.

Sale of t-shirts:

Want to have a unique t-shirt, nothing easier:

1. You choose your color

2. You choose your size

3. You choose the design you want

Sharing of our respective passions:

Kung-Fu: You're a fan of Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan? You've always wondered how they do their fights? You want to get an introduction to Kung-Fu? Caris (black belt) offers an introduction to this martial art.

Self-defense: How to manage a potentially dangerous situation interests you? You want to know some techniques to defend yourself from an attacker. Within hours, Caris teach you all this.

Ski and snowboard: You've always dreamed of watching yourself skiing or snowboarding but nobody to take your picture or video?

We offer you to complete this task and thus allow you to watch yourself as many times as you wish.
1. You choose your track or off-piste

2. Ale goes with you, shoot (DVD quality) and / or take pictures

3. He then immediately transfers the contents to your computer, USB key or hard drive (can also put it online)

Sale of homemade cakes:

Hungry? Please come see us at our Combi, we will always have freshly baked cakes.

Practice of foreign languages:

It has been a long time since you have last practiced your French or English? You feel you're losing your language skills? Come practice with Ale (trilingual French, English and Spanish) around a piece of cake with some mate or tea.

Of course we also accept donations! (Address where to send checks or bank account details available upon request)
