Wow, what an amazing journey. What really surprised me was how it was the mechanical failures that pushed you to the point of nearly giving up .. not the robberies, muggings, run-ins with crooked police, or nearly getting boxed in and rounded up and hunted down by local thugs. I think most of us would have given up .. or never even attempted such a feat.
Good luck to you in your continued journey, hope you make it! _________________ Chris

Plan is to stick to the west coast as much as possible, although I would love to come into the States and get up to Colorado too but I think the cost of gasoline will have to start limiting my movements soon.
If any of you guys are part of a group of VW owners and/or know of any VW shows we should check out please let me know so I can factor it in. Can you imagine the North America Kombi Convoy, we have to do it and record it all for the future videos.

Any chance you can provide me with a link so I can get in touch with them, a search on the info you provided didn't return anything. Maybe they would be a good contact. _________________ Around The World in a VW - Follow the Docuseries

Will try- they just had a post here yesterday- might try search- think the meet is mid to end sept- which would give you plenty of time.- but Jerome is at the top of a mountain- so is kind of a vehicle test just to get there.
Found it-- Gary or Dave at 602-492-5287 _________________ some days I get up and just sit and think. Some days I just sit.

I've started a campaign to help me get back to video editing and to make the Kombi Life channel even better. With any luck this should be a launching platform to help me produce better and more professional content for you guys.
If you like what I am doing please consider becoming my Patreon so I can get the equipment necessary to continue sharing the adventure.
