Adventure Sports Fair

In the days 18, 19, 20 and 21 April occurred, in Sao Paulo, a Adventure Sports Fair – largest trade fair for sports and adventure tourism in Latin America! There were already 14 editions and the fair continues to grow, this year there were more than 75 exhibitors and 54 thousand visitors!

For us the fair was an excellent opportunity to disclose the Expedition 4×1, talk with many adventurers, establish some partnerships and presenting proposals for some potential partners! We were present in two days of the fair and we were very impressed with the quality and organization of the event!

In the stands of various brands focused on adventure and sports, visitors could participate in workshops and lectures, know stands of national and international destinations, do business, sports, get in touch with the work of environmental NGOs, meet adventurers and buy certain products and equipments! The fair was flawless, congratulations to the organizers who have created a must-attend event for those who like adventure!

For us, a very striking point of the show was the interview we gave to Radio Eldorado (FM 107,3) on Saturday 21 April and was broadcast live! They had contacted us a few days ago and asked us to go to the studio they set up at the fair to give the interview.

The presenters Paulina Chamorro and Marco Lauro asked about the Expedition 4×1, the script and planning. In the past few days, we have written a post about the interview and put the audio to anyone who want to listen!!

Another interesting point was meeting with Grace and Robert Challenging Your Dreams! Meeting them always renews our strength and gives us further encouragement to go ahead!!

They brought to the fair part of their exhibition Traces of Brazil, his two books and also Baloo (Land Rover Defender that made the journey around the world, for 3 and a half years), their space was one of the most inspiring, no doubt about it!

One surprise we had during our visit on Saturday was the unexpected meeting with a group that will make an expedition quite similar to ours, their project is called Expedition New World and date of departure is scheduled for January 2013!

We are very excited about this surprise, since it is always very pleasant to meet people who also want to drive across the Americas!

Well, the fair was actually very productive for us! In addition to all of that, we have made numerous contacts and even entered into some partnerships, soon we will announce them here!!!!
