Brazilian woman crosses Americas alone in motorhome
Original source: Band

Vanessa Lourenço, known as Van da van, has reached Central America after traveling over 12,000 km on a solo motorhome journey across the Americas. Her final destination is Alaska, marking an unprecedented route for Brazilian caravanning. The anthropologist converted the van herself, including electrical, plumbing, and carpentry work, with no prior experience. Currently in Costa Rica, she is preparing to climb the Acatenango volcano in Guatemala.
