Herman and Candelaria Zapp started a 12,000 mile journey in an 83 year old Graham-Paige vehicle given to them by Herman's grandfather. At first their goal was 'just' to travel from Argentina to Alaska, but that journey has stretched into 142,000 miles, and 4 children in the 11 year journey, that isn't over yet. They are home schooling their children, each born with a different nationality. The kindness of strangers and sales of their two books cover their expenses as they've driven the antique vehicle (at a maximum 40 MPH) on 4 continents. They have no plans to stop any time soon as they travel the world.

I usually an opponent of home schooling (in most situations, but there are a few I can get behind), but this is actually quite cool. Imagine the stories these kids will have when they get older. Of course you cold argue they are missing a lot from a 'normal' chidlhood, but I would have loved to tour the world at that age.
