We Wanted To Show The World To Our 4-Year-Old So We Went On A 28,000Km Trip Around Europe

ADVERTISEMENT

In summer 2015, me, my girlfriend Oana and our four-year-old son Vladimir did a four-month trip across Europe, through 41 countries and 28.000kms. We rode a 2014 Ural Ranger sidecar, that we call Zair.

Here’s a short story, in pictures.

    Very courageous ! I salute your spirit and your's wife as well. I am sure your son is going to remember a lot, in case if he doesn't, then also you are building a great album which will be in his racks and there will be many occasions when he and his future family will browse thru. I am sure they will want and love you always. Because there are not many who have courage to do such trips. I am 41 and my son is 13 , we are planning to take a trip in next two years. But I am sure that we will not beat yours.....

    Gosh, U should talk..U dun even remember that the article, which is just right there, mentioned a daughter, not a son..children with cynical parents like U n some others here probably will choose not to remember, even if they can..

    Very courageous ! I salute your spirit and your's wife as well. I am sure your son is going to remember a lot, in case if he doesn't, then also you are building a great album which will be in his racks and there will be many occasions when he and his future family will browse thru. I am sure they will want and love you always. Because there are not many who have courage to do such trips. I am 41 and my son is 13 , we are planning to take a trip in next two years. But I am sure that we will not beat yours.....
