A couple from Caxias do Sul sold their apartment and converted a van into a motorhome, traveling 17,000 km through 19 Brazilian states. They are now preparing an international route from Ushuaia (Argentina) to Alaska (USA). The itinerary was adjusted due to cold: first through Paraguay, then along South America to Ushuaia, after which the motorhome will be shipped via the Panama Canal to Mexico. The couple switched careers to digital marketing and documents the journey in a blog.

Inside, they installed modular furniture, a bathroom with a roll-up door, solar panels, and a rooftop terrace. The couple sold the motorhome to pursue a new travel project with a 4x4 Land Cruiser Prado for a trip to Alaska.

Police arrest family in Uberlândia on suspicion of drug trafficking and money laundering

Brazil's Federal Police conducted 'Operation Mens Occulta' against international cocaine trafficking, arresting a father and his two daughters—a lawyer and a psychologist. The family is suspected of accumulating luxury assets, including ranches, imported cars, thoroughbred horses, and a motorhome valued at approximately 1.2 million reais, using proceeds from cocaine smuggled from Paraguay. Over two years of investigation, police linked the group to the seizure of about 2.9 tons of cocaine. Financial reports revealed movements of around 70 million reais without a legitimate source.
