VW Camper van for sale in Brazil

We are selling a 1980 VW Vanagon Westfalia Camper Van with pop-up roof, full kitchen (fridge, sink, stove) and full camping equipment.
The Van has a US registration (Maine license plates). Please note that car with US plates has no restrictions in going all the countries (it is considered as a Tourist vehicle that only stays in a country as long as its owner) and you will always get a tourist car permit.
The car has to be picked up near Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in the beginning of December 2009.
We drove this car from San Francisco, California so the ideal buyer would be someone who is doing the reverse trip and takes it back to the states, or just travelling in South America.
About the Car:
It’s a 1980 VW Vanagon Westfalia with a Gasoline engine. The speedometer and odometer recently stopped to work but the car has approximately 130,000 miles on the counter.
The car is in good r... more »

India in November - Delhi now

Hi I have been traveling around asia with a friend but now traveling solo as they had other commitments. I'm in Delhi at the moment, want to see some things around here then Taj Mahal, perhaps Rajastan and head south. Plans are flexible at the moment, have much more fun with company. Was wondering if there is anyone in Delhi that would be free to meet up and even if anyone wants to travel together? Any recommendations or tips would be much appreciated as well! Thank you :)

12/07/2009 Trivandrum INDIA kerela

Namaste,
I am a fun loving, artistic & experienced 33 year old world traveler. i arrive to Trivandrum, India on Dec. 7th. Looking to connect with another traveler to explore the area for a week or two while I'm there. This will be my fourth winter to India, but I've never explored any place south of Goa. I like to live spontaneously in the moment & go with the flow. A lot of preplanning is not required. If you are interested let me know a bit about yourself.

Travelling Solo Thailand Dec 28 - Jan 17th

Hey Guys and Girls,

So i decided to book this trip to Thailand because i here its amazing, but one problem..... all my friends are broke or going to Mexico as its a Canadian hot spot during our winter ..... that leaves me on my own.
I'm really looking forward to meeting up with some people along my way and being able to explore this foreign place with. I'm sure it would be amazing to see on my own, but lets face it its always more fun when your with others, especially when you put back a few.

My plans so far;
Arrive BBK Dec 28th, 11:45am. Tour around till the 31st, catch a plane to Ko Samui....... take a boat to Ko Phangan for the new years bash, then back to ko Samui.....

Places i would like to go;
Phuket, Chaing mai, Laos, Krabi (rock climbing), Similan Islands (Scuba Diving)...... and a whole heck of ... more »

India Trip Feb 09

Greetings fellow travellers!

I'm a 23 year old female from the UK and i'm heading to India at the beginning of Febuary 2010. I'm going to concentrate on mainly Northern India, but i'm definutely flexible on where i go! I'm also hoping to head over to Nepal aswell.

I've just got back from a year long trip in South East Asia which was brilliant, but i'm already fed-up with being back in cold and miserable England! I've loved having nice baths and eating good old roast dinners but i'm definutely getting itchy feet again!

I'm a friendly and enthusiastic person who is interested in doing lot's of sight-seeing, trekking, meeting new people and my aim is to be able to eat a Vindaloo!

It would be great to team up with someone to explore India, or even get a group of people together! I'm hoping to make it a 4 month trip!

If your interested, email me on : carlydavies182@hotmail.c... more »

Seeking travel mate for RTW around India & SEA Jan-July 2010

Hello fellow travellers,


My name is Elisabeth, I'm a Swedish female living in London. I'm planning a 6 month RTW trip starting in mid-January 2010 that will take me to India, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia and finishing in the Cook Islands before I fly home to London. Although I will be 30 (!!) at the time and consider myself fairly well travelled, this is my first backpacking trip and as I'm going solo, it would be great to have some company from time to time, to share costs and experiences. I want to experience the fantastic cultures of each of the countries I'm visiting and not least the fantastic food! I see myself doing a lot of "temple-watching", but would also like to find activities to do, whether it be wildlife watching or learning to surf, and of course spending odd days or weeks doing nothing on a beach. Although I enjoy a good night ... more »
