We had the pleasure of meeting Iris and Franck at Auto Club Speedways “Bug-IN” VW show. They have been on their Honeymoon for over a year, traveling the entire world by VW Bus. They started in Argentine and have made their way over 30,000 miles across South, Central, and all over North America, they are currently in San Francisco and will be shipping the Bus to Japan, then taking a ferry to Russia and driving all the way to see Franck family in France. They are a delightful couple and you can follow along on their journey, donate to support their trip, or send them a note. Check out the amazing photos on their site www.amerikando.com
