Everything was stolen from me. I lost 2 years of hard-worked savings.

Auckland

Hi! I'm Sebastian and I'm from Argentina. For 2 years I worked hard to make a dream come true: to travel

around New Zealand and Asia. So on September I resigned to my job and my plane took off.

It started all pretty well on New Zealand, I bought a van which I made my home (with a bed, a matress, a

portable oven, etc.) and started to travel this beautiful country.

But then one day... while I was taking a shower, my van was stolen. I had everything on it, including my

savings (U$S 8000), my travel documents, my backpack and my clothes. Everything gone. The van appeared a

week after, but of course, it was empty. I lost everything.

Now, if I want to return home, I can't even afford a plane ticket... Thankfully, the friends I've made

here so far are helping me with housing and food for the time being.

But I don't want to give up on the dreams I've worked so hard to reach. That's why I'm asking for your

help. It would be great just to recover some part of what was taken from me, and use it to start again,

to gain energy and to know that bad guys just can't win.

Every help is much appreciated, no matter the amount.

Thanks in advance,

Seb.

I am sorry to hear that. You should get a travel insurance so that you are able to claim for whatever you lost. Anyway, hope everything goes well with you later. Good luck

Hi Sébastien, Sorry for what happened to you. I have the same experience 10 years ago in Australia. Therefore they break in the car and took my sister’s and my backpacks and everything in the car. Luckily I still have the car with broken window. I was cring in room for three days without talking to anyone. Then I spend another 6 months working extremely hard to earn every coin money back to my account. Every thing come for reason, don’t let it get you down. My heart is with you and hope you can stay strong. Fiona xx
