Who We Are
70 mil km, 19 countries, 10 months, 5 friends and 1 continent.
Somos um grupo de cinco amigos e nos conhecemos desde 2006 (data em que dois de nós fundamos uma república universitária próxima à USP, in the city of Sao Paulo).
Born in different regions of Brazil, ao longo dos anos anteriores à expedição vínhamos vivendo como uma família, driven by the intense environment of our "republic". Together, we traveled to different places in Brazil and abroad, and participated in various activities in college, involving its entities, parties and competitions.
The Expedition 4×1 – Portraits of the Americas was developed by 10 hands and, in general, boils down to a trip that will cover around 70 thousand kilometers by the American territory: we left Sao Paulo on 03 June 2012, we came to Alaska in September, attain the Ushuaia in May and, thereafter, get back to São Paulo.
Além de viagem por si só e do aprendizado que tivemos, there is also another important goal: we believe that our continent still has many things to be discovered, especially human knowledge. Therefore, we intend to document interesting and inspiring life stories – encontrar pelas Américas heróis de carne e osso!
