Brazilian couple sells apartment, converts van into a motorhome, and plans trip from Ushuaia to Alaska after 17,000 km across Brazil

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.
