I met the Argentine Zapp Family - made up of Herman, Candelaria and their four children, who for 17 years traveled around the world in a vintage car - in Barcelona, where they'd come to kick off their travel through Spain for several months as part of their journey through Europe, where they planned to put an end to their adventure by the end of 2017.

The family planned to travel to Spain until spring before embarking on a trip to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy and Greece, the last stops on a tour that has passed through the five continents. Herman and Candelaria left Argentina for the first time to travel the distance between Buenos Aires and Alaska in six months, but what should've been a half-year adventure was "17 years and four children," Herman explained in statements to the Spanish news agency Efe, recognizing that during this time they could not "stop traveling".

The family's traveling companion has been during this time a vintage car manufactured in 1928 by the American carmaker Graham-Paige, which went out of business in 1940. It took them all over the American continent first, then through Australia and New Zealand , through Asian lands from Japan to India, Africa from north to south and finally Europe, where they entered through Turkey.
