Pedro, Ana Cristina, Cuca & Kyra!
I'm a 45 y.o. IT professional who managed and helped create several innovation projects in the aerospace industry and for the public transports of the Lisbon metropolitan area. For a while I’ve also worked offshore aboard Norwegian seismic vessels which gave me the opportunity to travel to some remote areas of the world and expand my skills.
In February 2020 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis after a second surge that left me with permanent dormant feet and legs. Fortunately current medication was able to stabilize the disease.
Traveling has always been my passion and a world tour has always been a dream I keep postponing... until now.
Past travel experience includes almost all of Europe, Iceland, Turkey, Thailand, Cambodia, China, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique and Madagascar. I speak Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.
I’m 43 y.o. and I’ve worked in the aviation sector for 17 years, currently as an operations coordinator for the ground handler Portway, of Vinci Airports. I love my work and my lifestyle, but I also love travelling and exploring new places and cultures. I could not fail to support Pedro in his dream and disease so I’ll embark this adventure with him. Together we’ll be able to overcome the challenges of an expedition like this, despite the extra challenges like Pedro’s MS treatments and having our dear 4-legged companions with us all the time. I'm small, but I’m strong and determined! Follow us to see what we can achieve.
I'm a 13 y.o female French Bulldog, still with a lot of energy! I'm the dominant one and I demand treats. I love chicken treats and traveling to find new smells.
I'm a 3 y.o. female American Bully. People think I'm the muscle of the team, but all I do is licking. I don't like the truck nor travelling, but I follow my parents and Cuca everywhere they go.
A handmade extreme duty truck with Iveco F1C
engine and Alison automatic gearbox.
It was converted into a self-sufficient camper in
Holland and is capable of tackling any challenge
in the most remote areas of the world.
