Traveling for our dream…
We met in Chile in 2011 and we moved to Barcelona in 2012. In 2016 we lived a really difficult time in our lives. Vannia, 34, was able to explain for the first time that she suffered sexual abuse in her childhood for almost twelve years. Then a transformation process began that made us rethink many things about how we were living life.
The wonderful change that Vannia experienced made us aware of the silence that exists in our society about sexual abuse in childhood and the importance of creating spaces to break this silence and taboos.
This is how we discovered what is the purpose of our life and the meaning to fulfill our dream. Travel, share, get to know the world, and its various cultures and ways of living.
In 2017 we left everything we had and started this great adventure. At the beginning Javier our son accompanied us for almost two years. Today he is living his own life in the way that he is choosing and betting on his own dreams.
We introduce you all the members of this nomad family.

Vannia
An animal lover, but birds are her passion.
She is cheerful and fun. She is undoubtedly the most visible face of this project and the Chef of the trip.

She lived a healing process that has changed her life and that of those of us with her.
Today she helps women and men heal the same wounds that she silently dragged for more than 30 years. She has been trained in different types of alternative therapies to facilitate and accompany others in their healing processes individually and also in women’s circles for almost 3 years.
The proceeds from these therapies allow us to finance our trip and also be able to offer these services for free to other people who do not have the means to access them when we manage to raise enough to finance a process.



Miquel
Passionate about travelling, music and good sound. He is also an animal lover and has a great sense of Respect for nature.

Vannia is a woman to be admired. The courage and bravery that are characteristic of her has allowed her to transform her life at the age of 34 when she was able for the first time to explain that she suffered sexual abuse in her childhood for almost 12 years.

Miquel is the most adventurous of the group. He is also the one who manages all the computer part of the project and the driver of this wonderful trip.
Miquel is a person with a big heart who has had a childhood marked by love and respect. Accompanying Vannia in her healing process and learning more about the damage that these abuses generate in people’s lives has led her to empathize with the survivors, in such a way that she has made this cause her own and defending it is now the purpose of her life.
Another of his great tasks on this trip is to go after Djenga when she gets lost trying to get food.

Djenga
A 9-year-old Bodeguera ratonera andaluza, originally from Córdoba. She loves #vanlife and she is the queen of the house.
She is a bit antisocial. She does not like to interact with other dogs and is very selective about humans. (It all depends if there is food involved).
Djenga is dedicated to eating, sleeping, sunbathing, playing with squeaky balls and whenever she feels like it she is our companion on our excursions.
She is obsessed with food and is an expert stalker to try and get it. It is very easy to see it outside the Vans or Caravans at meal times or with people who have picnics.
Her hobby is jumping into the water behind a ball and prowling the garbage cans.
If you see her out there and want to try to be her friend, you will only succeed if you have food or a squeaky ball.
Cacharrito
The soul of this trip
The Cacharrito is a 1987 Mercedes 309D from Germany. In 2017 it became our motorhome.
He does not like being in a rush, he likes to travel at the speed of the landscape and prefers secondary roads where not so many young vehicles pass by making a fuss.
He is an adventurer and prefers to avoid the hustle and bustle of the cities.
At 34 years old, he still attracts the gazes of people who see him and want to meet this grandfather who was highly sought after in his times.
The interior retains all the original structure designed by Westfalia and its heart (engine) continues to work wonderfully after having traveled more than 1 million kilometers.
