In December 2019, I took a trip of more than 8,000 km in 30 days. So I will share what I took, how I prepared and what I did before starting this long trip. I will describe here what I will talk about in the video, so it will be easier to understand or even consult. 1. INSPECTION OF YOUR VEHICLE – Oil / brakes / headlights / wipers / tires – calibration - step alignment and balancing check safety items 2. VEHICLE AND TRAVELERS DOCUMENTATION Everything must be up to date – avoid headaches and fines / especially for underage children, 3. TRAVEL SCHEDULE Organize your trip with a safety margin for both fuel and physical fatigue – there are stretches of more than 100 km in Brazil that do not have gas stations, so avoid traveling with the car on reserve, stipulate maximum km and time, plan your stops and overnight stays 4. MONEY AND CARDS Separate the amount in cash, and any credit cards that you may need 5. CELL PHONE AND CHARGERS Make sure that your cell phone and charger are working properly, this is the perfect foundation, as your cell phone will be your support for emergency contacts and also for taking photos 6. MAPS WAZE AND GOOGLE MAPS OFFLINE Keep the route ready on Waze, which shows real-time traffic, or Google Maps. There are offline maps available. Whenever you hit the road, check the route to see if there are any road closures or accidents. This way, you can optimize your time. 7. SUPPLIES Always keep supplies for the trip. If possible, prepare a cooler with ice, water, and drinks, as well as fast and ready-made foods, such as fruit or crackers, peanuts, snacks. Anything can happen, and if you get stuck in traffic, you won't go hungry. A thermos with water or a thermos with coffee for fans. 8. ENTERTAINMENT Try to keep distractions in your car. This way, you will have a more peaceful, fun, and enjoyable trip. A playlist with different musical genres. If you have a screen in your car, you can watch videos, such as cartoons, movies, and series if you have children in the car. If you have the option, install a voltage converter. This way, you will have outlets available in the car to charge your laptop, tablets, and other accessories. 9.
