Carolina and Fernando left Brazil to spend what was meant to be a one-year sabbatical in Canada. They stayed for thirteen.
During that time, they reinvented the way they worked, became more deeply involved in their children's education, learned to live at a different pace, and made virtual facili...
Today marks our fourth day living in the motorhome.
We’re writing from Nelson Campground, a tree-lined campground right in town, one of those places where nature and urban life coexist in a simple and beautiful way. It’s been raining quite a bit. And there’s something deeply comforting about hear...
When Hands Are Working and the Heart Takes Part.
To raise some funds to support our journey across the Americas, Fernando had the idea of selling Brazilian cheese breads (pão de queijo). And I had to prepare them. In the span of a week, we made around 1,300 of them. The plan was simple: turn time...
We’ve been thinking lately about the quiet power of dreams.
The ones that stay with us for years without demanding anything.
Long before we met, both Carolina and I carried the same dream: to visit the Rockies. To walk, camp and paddle through the trails, rivers and mountains in this part of Cana...
From the very first moment we saw the motorhome, something was already there. The walk around, stepping inside, looking at the details… it all felt a little magical. An immediate sense of connection. Or maybe better said: love at first sight.
It didn’t feel like we were buying an RV.It felt like ...
We finally parked our motorhome in our backyard: a Thor Majestic 23A. It’s a curious feeling because we haven’t left yet, but somehow, we’ve already begun.
The rig is big. It now sits in our backyard access, and it’s hard to ignore its presence. We’re now stepping in and out, opening drawers and...
In the past few months, I’ve found myself returning to a simple question—one that isn’t easy to answer honestly: what do I really need?
It didn’t arrive all at once. It surfaced gradually, almost unnoticed, in the middle of practical decisions: what to bring, what to leave behind, what to sell, w...
When I first started thinking about the six-month crossing we’re about to undertake, I imagined the biggest challenge would be deciding what would or wouldn’t fit in the motorhome. But I slowly realized the real question wasn’t about physical space. The true questions were different:What is essen...
I am Miguel Loureiro. My mom and dad have planned a trip from Canada to Brazil by motorhome, and I was asked to write about how I feel about it.
Honestly, it’s going to be bittersweet.
On one hand, it’s an incredible opportunity — a road trip through the Americas. Not many people get to travel th...
Many people ask us why this journey - and why now.
Well, the short answer is: Education.
Holistic education has always been one of our guiding principles. We’ve moved to different cities because of it. We moved to Canada because of it. And it’s for that same reason that we are now heading to Braz...
Our companions on the road and in life.Each one with a very clear role.
Mila cares.She teaches us about love through care, presence, and patience. With the wisdom of a calm old soul at eleven years old, she reminds us every day that this journey also calls for pauses, deep listening, and trust in...
If there’s one solid thing about this journey, it’s the sheer scale of it. So we want to share the spirit with which we’re looking at it.
We’ll begin a 20,000-kilometre road trip from Canada to Brazil in a motorhome. On the map, sure we’ve drawn a zigzag line, dropped a few pins on places (and fr...
