And yoüll get there moved to tears and jump with them celebrating, knowing that dreams are possible if one day you begin.
Candelaria and Herman Zapp are the kind of people with whom one can identify. They have dreams, loves, and fears that everyone has, and with no more possibilities than you to embark in the adventure of completing their dream.
They both grew up in the country, among ponies and cousins. At eight and ten years of age they met and the impossible love that they felt at that time grew and became a reality when she was 14. During another 10 years, they dated and grew up together with a dream accompanying them. But after six years of marriage, they took their first steps pushed by their desire to have children. They said, "First let¿s complete our dream, then we¿ll have children" and it couldn¿t have been a better way: their first son arrived together with the dream, one dream inside another.
During the trip to Alaska, they printed their first book which was the best selling book of the International Book Fair of Costa Rica. They continued to write and self-published "Atrapa tu Sueño", a bestseller of the International Book Fair of Buenos Aires, in 2005. Today, its 14th edition is sold successfully, while its English version "Spark your Dream" follows the same path.
