Can it not be easier?
What if simple would not be better?
When anticipation turns into disappointment...
and then...
into your biggest dream.
If it was all worth it?
Every second!
When I decided in 2015, to study one high school year abroad in USA...
I got ready for everything.
New school, friends, city, house and family.
What I did not expect...
is meeting Tin.
From then on everything went pretty fast.
Our whole year passed like in a glimpse of a second.
After our program finished...
we decided to break up.
But as you can see, that didn't work out.
We dated two years in a long-distance relationship.
Over this time, we met each other's families
friends and countries so many times.
Still, we were such a long time far away from each other...
that we decided to give us a real shot.
A year in New Zealand in a Camper...
because what could be more testing
than a four square meter shared living space
with no room to escape anything.
Our idea grew and got more and more manifested
into a real ambition.
Hundreds of FaceTime, Skype and WhatsApp calls later...
we had a plan
and the first brick would be to apply for the classic Work and Holiday Visa.
As it is for a German
as simple as filling out a 10-minute survey...
for Brazilians there is a limit of 300 people per year.
Even though I had three computers running at the same time...
I was out of luck.
Knowing that Brazil is a waiver country...
which means that you can stay up to 90 days without any prior organization
let us decide...
that I am going to apply for a regular visa at location when landed.
Leaving no stones unturned...
we planned a basic route and bought a camper via email...
parked on the South Island in Christchurch.
And then, it was finally there, the 5th of September.
I said goodbye to my parents, sister and entered the plane to Auckland
with stop-over in Hong Kong, full of expectations
and just incredible happiness seeing Ariane again.
Everything seemed closer
and the anxiety of being together was above all limits.
I flew from São Paulo to Santiago
where I would have two hours later
my connecting flight to New Zealand.
Right before boarding I noticed
a flight attendance talking to a few passengers in front of me.
It almost seemed like he was searching someone.
It took a couple of minutes till I heard my name.
Because I applied for the Work and Holiday Visa
with no space left...
I got listed.
My heart started to pound faster.
My world was crashing and my breath taken.
I got refused to enter New Zealand.
Was that real?
What have I done to deserve it?
Nothing.
I was punched and shocked by reality.
I saw people arriving and leaving...
calling was not solving.
Nobody knew what to do and how to help.
It was a confusion of feelings and emotions.
I found myself lost in my deepest fears.
Would I not reach New Zealand?
All these conversations and phone calls
to different embassies took so long...
that I arrived in Christchurch and picked up the car...
while she was still at the airport in Santiago de Chile.
And that wasn't even the worst.
Ariane would turn 20 in a couple of hours.
Since there was no fast way of figuring out the situation...
we decided it would be best to fly back to São Paulo.
So I could celebrate with my family just until everything had calmed down.
Which it did not.
Two weeks of no response from any authority?
We had to move on.
After long conversations and personal meetings...
the previous owners saved us, by taking the camper back.
We chose Santiago de Chile as our new starting point.
Ariane is from São Paulo...
the biggest city of Brazil.
She is a very good mashed potato cooker
and extremely motivated girl who loves to be creative.
Her big passion is India and all varieties of naturopathy, yoga and meditation.
After graduating from high-school Ariane studied media...
and is persuaded that she wants to do something else.
In addition Ariane decided to be vegetarian.
Tin hates to eat green...
however he is a trained mashed potato eater...
based in a rather small town called Erfurt in Germany.
He makes me laugh and to be behind the camera means everything to him.
Since his childhood, he is doing film and photography.
Rather sooner than later we had to realize...
that the kind of camper we would choose to travel through New Zealand...
can't be similar to the South American one.
While creating a possible route...
we saw all these beautiful pictures of places
which were just reachable by a tough four-wheel drive.
But how do you combine off-road capability with comfort?
We started to look into pick-up campers
and call every number existing in and around Santiago we could find.
The big problem was kind of always
that most of the dealers were just renting
and this for incredible prices.
Then we met a guy
who builds campers by himself all the time...
but when we were actually speaking to him in person...
we realized that would probably take half of the year
to just get the camper ready to roll.
But he also informed us that to buy any car in general
even as a foreign, you will need a RUT.
A national identification number
which allows you to sign an official contract anywhere in Chile.
Just to start the procedure of applying for one of these numbers...
required a national representative
who would sign for you the papers.
How the fate wants
one of Arianes friends, knew someone, who knew someone
who was willing to help us out.
Another day Juan...
another contact of one of the numbers we were speaking to...
gave us a call.
And said that he may had something of interest.
He picked us up from our AirBnB...
we walked around his property and saw dozens of campers.
We could see so many versions of pick-up campers
which really made up our mind.
Juan had to sell one Dodge Ram Pickup
and a four-year-old used camper...
which had matching sizes.
Couple of visits later we decided to go for it.
That's our South America map...
which was very very difficult to find.
So, we thought was a little bit boring just to leave the map
and then we put our beautiful pictures here of all our trips.
We had to do several repairs on the camper...
including the heater, microwave and the shower.
It took about one month to get that far
and we finally felt ready.
The plan was to go to Valparaiso
and head from there North.
What could be better than an UNESCO World Heritage
with beautiful sunny beaches along the cost.
What makes the area special, is its
incredible Dunas del Concon from which you can see the ocean.
We got amazed by an incredible sunset.
First night there and the heater broke again.
No later than a week we found ourselves back in Santiago.
Repaired everything and left another time
in the direction of Vina Del Mar...
where we finally named the camper
and gave him a new style-up.
Before stickering up we had to clean the Camper.
It took us a while to realize...
that the best way to attach a big sticker
to a smooth surface
is by using a card.
Beyond Mountains was our YouTube channel
where we shared small extracts of our travel.
And you know what you forgot also?
What?
That we still didn't cut the corners.
Done.
What did you do?
I cut a beautiful corner on a ''Pappe".
On a what?
"Pappe".
What is "Pappe"?
"Pappe." Is this German?
This is German.
We were thinking about many names.
Doloris, Velma, Frida...
but the camper just looked like an Arnold.
A bit later we passed our first 1000 kilometers.
And then we made it official
Arnold all the way.
From Concon we made our way slowly further north...
where we finally entered the Atacama desert region.
Our first stop was directly past the entrance
of the Pan de Azúcar National Park
where we did not see another car for days.
Absolute no-mans land.
Welcome to Atacama.
After a few days at the beach...
our heart started to beat for the mountains.
The first time we ever went to 4,000 meters above sea-level.
It turned out that this idea
wasn't a good one, because we decided
to drive all the way from the ocean
to that altitude in a day.
So, here is our experience.
Everything was fine till we went to sleep
in the middle of the night
it had freezing temperatures...
we woke up and felt so incredibly bad.
Afraid of altitude sickness we moved on.
It took us a few hours and drone shots more
till we decided to head towards San Pedro de Atacama.
With small stops.
Following the Panamericana...
you will sooner or later, pass a giant desert hand
close to the industrial city Antofagasta.
Before entering the flower-desert...
we spend here a night, with hundreds of stars
and a unique moon rise.
The flower desert occurs that intense
and saturated just every seven years.
Knowing that made our experience extra special.
And then, everything almost started to break apart.
Our plan was to go direct
from San Pedro de Atacama to Bolivia...
crossing the border in Ollagüe.
A very important thing you have to keep in mind...
is that in Bolivia you need gasoline for hundreds of kilometers.
In that specific crossing we needed 1,100 kilometer
gas-range to cross to the next gasoline stop.
With an 80 liter tank
and 80 liters of additional gasoline we could make it.
Since we spoke to so many people beforehand...
who did already several border crossings...
we expected to pass in a couple of minutes.
But South America is always good for the unexpected.
So, it occurs to happen that a couple of days
before we arrived the law had changed.
And foreigners owning an Chilenian car
were just able to leave the country
having a three-year resident permit...
or a notarized paper stating to return in 180 days.
Neither we had.
We spoke to several carabineros
which were guarding the borders.
All of them refused to let us through.
After two hours we could finally
speak to a higher person.
Directly before we were leaving he let us enter his office...
with the intention to show an email proving that he is right.
He did not find the email...
we passed the border.
And there it was Bolivia.
The Salar de Uyuni is the biggest salt desert on earth
with over 10,000 square kilometers of endless white.
Because the season was about to drastically change
we chose to drive straight all the way to Perus hiking paradise Huaraz.
With quick stops...
in La Paz, Lago Titikaka and Lima
and would take it slow on our way south.
Hiking for us...
is where we find ourselves.
We love the feeling of being alone
surrounded by the nature.
The Huascaran National Park
has its name from the biggest mountain in Peru...
with its high peak, Huascaran Sur of 6768m.
Since it is off-season...
and extremely dangerous to go on top of any peak...
we did several hikes and climbs
which offered unbelievable mountain views.
One of the tracks leading to Laguna 69.
On these tracks we made so many new friends.
Glacinha was an adventure dog
which guided us through
the five day Santa Cruz Trek...
leaving dozens of kilometers behind.
One day we got surprised
by the appearance of several donkeys.
After a while one of them seemed like
willing to enter our tent...
absolutely convinced that there must be food somewhere.
Even after hours he was not leaving us.
On our way to Cusco we found ourselves
in the middle of the gigantic
hot Desierto de Huacachina.
Where we volunteered to pick up trash from the dunes.
After many relaxing trash-free desert days...
the mountains were calling again.
And we decided to ascend the 5200 meter
high rainbow mountain.
What is our plan for tomorrow my beautiful?
-Our plan? -Yes.
Starting at what time?
5:30 a.m.
Oh-ho-ho!
Leaving the lamas behind
the first possible car crossing below the rainforest
is to Brazil.
Starting from Cusco we made our way over
Puerto Maldonado in the direction of Porto Velho.
Here starts the most famous dirt road South Americas...
the BR 319.
Own bridge building and meters of mud are waiting.
The old military street is the highlight
of every off-road specialist.
But what if there is something more adventurous than that?
Now we are here in our hammocks
and I just want to tell you
a little bit about our situation, how we got here.
So, a few days ago Ariane and me, we decided
that we want to go to the Amazon.
And then first, we had just this one
which is not...
it doesn't look so good.
It looks very, I don't know... crazy.
And...
then the guy from São Paulo also...
he gave us some ropes
and now we are here with our hammocks.
And we are going to drive now with a boat...
super crazy...
three days...
laying in hammocks...
to Manaus, where our rainforest tour will start from.
And this is the mosquito net.
I know it's a little bit pink...
but I think it is going to save us a lot
during our trip here.
And we are super excited
and so, let's go!
We ate lunch.
Me and Tin, we were the first ones.
Because now we already understood how it works here.
You have to be the first one
and you have to eat as much as possible
because if not, you stay very hungry.
We ate very good, no?
Because yesterday we went to bed pretty hungry
and it's not the technique to get as many times as you want
because the second time is already everything empty
so I just exploited a gigantic mountain
on my dish and then everything was amazing today.
So fantastic! It's the second day.
We are...
we are hanging around here now...
in our hammocks.
Yeah, its fantastic.
Okay, this is our first day on our Amazonas jungle tour...
and we saw already so many things.
So many things.
Now we are getting checked by the police.
From the police on the boat and we are almost in Porto Velho.
There is the guy with the gigantic gun.
Following a long time in the Amazon region...
it was time to head South
to a beautiful little hidden gem full of adventures.
Now we are driving to Bonito.
Oh gosh, it's a bump.
Bump.
Shift back to P.
Oh my gosh, is that difficult.
Like I said, we are driving now to Bonito.
We gonna see how Bonito looks like.
People say it's fantastic.
So, let's see.
Amazing.
So we are now at the Abismo de Anhumas.
Anhumas.
You arrive in the place
and you don't think there's something there.
You enter in a hole, which is two meters.
You are going to first do a rappel down into a cave.
72 meters.
And then you can dive there...
or you can do a floatation
in a crystal clear blue lake.
Let's go, no?
Amazing!
What do you think?
Fantastic.
Fantastic. Bye, Arnold.
Bye.
Afraid of diving, afraid of the rappel.
Ariane is getting ready.
Completely dark.
Wow, so fantastic.
You should put this in your backpack...
because if it falls...
something falls in 82 meters.
With flashlight equipped.
Here is the cave, you cannot see anything...
just the top there.
And I am going in the water now.
Ariane is there floating.
Really amazing, okay!
Let's go, let's go.
Bonito is famous for its rivers
with incredible visibility and underwater volcanoes.
Where are we, Tin?
Flotation.
As you can maybe hear...
we were just flying there above this bridge...
and now, no connection
and then I got an engine error.
And now we will try to find it.
This is the bridge, somewhere here is the...
drone.
But we think...
that it is somewhere here in the water.
From one second to the other connection error.
Well...
and one of the women said
that it flew in the direction of the trees
but that is the opposite direction of the home-return.
Our chances are pretty low.
We lost the drone, we didn't find it.
Now we are going in the direction of Foz do Iguaçu...
the biggest waterfalls in South America.
So, let's check it out and we will see you tomorrow.
We are at the Iguaçu waterfalls on the Brazilian side
and after we are going to the Argentinean.
We drove now, two days here
from Bonito.
It's fantastic, so beautiful.
Let's see more.
And in that very moment, I feel like
understanding the real majesty of these waterfalls.
One fluent motion followed by another.
Unstoppable and ongoing.
How does life feel?
When the motion around you...
doesn't stop.
Letting yourself be a part of it.
We stared at the water for hours...
letting the individuality of each certain drop
be itself and continued our way.
Wherever it would take us.
We are right now in Foz do Iguaçu...
but this day from the Argentinean side
and as you can see it's so fantastic
that even the butterfly thinks
it should definitely land on us.
And now, I have since some minutes this butterfly
on my head and it's walking around
and it's a little bit ticklish
but, so fantastic.
And that was the bell that we are going to drive
now with the train through the fantastic park.
And I am not sure, is it raining?
I feel a little bit more humidity than usual.
So many butterflies.
So many butterflies...
we are surrounded by them.
It looks like they are the mosquitos
but they are not.
Now the butterfly...
is on my nose.
This is clearly a five star TripAdvisor.
Wow!
I have a butterfly on my nose.
From Foz do Iguaçu it were just a couple of hundred kilometers
to Brazil's coastline, Florianópolis.
Quick and easy to reach
that's what we thought.
Okay, so what we just found out is that the...
metal under our camper
completely broke.
Completely broke, on both sides.
And we cannot even drive now anymore
and today is Sunday and holiday at the same time.
Now, maybe we called someone.
We called a hundred numbers and maybe someone
is going to help us.
Finally, help us on a Sunday.
We got all the tools.
Let's try to figure it out.
Okay, we found someone.
Amazing.
Ariane is completely addicted
eating the whole time crazy crackers...
with Philadelphia.
Total addiction.
Okay, so, usually we have some pretty big
air pillows in the back.
Which are inflating the camper pretty high
and then usually, this would be much higher
and pretty much even with the other front side.
So, what now is our problem...
that in Lima we got wrong lungs.
Or better they send us wrong lungs
and we waited three freaking weeks for them.
We found out...
we found out now that they're just
with a maximum capacity of 400 kilograms
and that means that the whole time the camper
is completely bend in the back.
Then all the weight is pushing on this metal straps.
Now, we have this metal here attached
under the camper from the beginning on...
and this is basically pushing now
and pulling the whole time so strong on it...
that this broke.
Ariane is still addicted to crackers
and now we are back on the road.
At least that's what we thought.
We could repair the car, but it took the whole day.
At night we found a nice place to camp
and we started to build our selling sign.
Okay, so, today we have an amazing thing to do.
We bought one of these signs.
Actually two and "São Paulo"
and then we got inspired to do another one.
Because they didn't have "Alemania"
or "Germany", or "Erfurt".
Erfurt nobody knows, but they could have had.
We wrote: "Alemania" on the other side.
And now what we just have to do...
here is some sort of lack on it.
So, let's do it.
And then is the plan to attach this somewhere on the camper.
Let's go and put the lack.
We did not find a place yet for the signs...
but before we could even think about this...
there were more problems coming up.
So, right now we are in the situation that
our camper is completely bending down more and more...
because we still didn't get the chance to buy
anywhere air pillows which would inflate them
and pick up the back of
the camper higher and right now...
I am a little bit at a verge because...
in addition to that also three of the car sensors of the truck broke.
So, the ABS sensor, the gasoline pump sensor...
and the light sensors are broken.
Or working sometimes and not working
but I am always getting the hint in the front terminal
of the car that something is not working
and we went to one of these car stations
and they said us 30 days to just order
three pieces which we need
to continue to drive.
Right now, we are in a situation here
and also the back of our camper is leaving water in.
We had now two days of continuous rain...
like almost 24 hours.
And was just continuing, continuing, continuing
and now we have water inside the camper.
So we would also have to do the roof new and...
right now I am really thinking...
if we maybe
don't just stop our travel here.
I don't know.
Days of incredible preoccupation followed.
We were driving slow, hoping not to damage camper or car.
And the worst was that we really did not know
what was going on with the pickup...
which looked like bending more and more.
About two hours before arriving in Buenos Aires...
we had to stop because our camper was almost touching the ground.
After many hard efforts we made it finally
into the capital of Argentina.
The good news is we found at all someone...
in Buenos Aires who will take our car.
The bad thing is...
that it is gonna take two weeks.
Bye Arnold.
We are in the hostel as you can see...
here right now in our dorm.
No one is here so super nice single room.
I am gonna do a Spanish course
and Ariane is going to job in a hostel.
And right now, we are in a pretty difficult situation right now.
What do you think Ariane?
Yeah, we bought this locker...
to lock our bags and then
somehow this locker changed by itself.
I don't know. It changed the combination
and now we are doing 900 possibilities.
Trying to open the lock.
Okay, so I have to tell a super funny story...
what happened yesterday.
There was just me and Tin
the whole day and also night.
And yesterday I felt asleep
and then in the middle of the night...
I saw that Tin was using his phone.
I started to call him. I said, "Tin!".
"Tin, are you listening me? Tin!"
And then, he is still using his phone.
And then I started to scream with him, "Tin, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing there?"
And then after that I screamed completely...
I said, "Why are you not talking to me?"
"What?"
And then Tin turned.
He said, "Ah, there is another guy here."
And then the guy was like this with the phone
and I am completely screaming the whole time with him.
And then I said, "Ah, okay."
And then I came back to sleep.
Was so bad, but was so bad.
Was so bad.
Oh...
Wow!
Okay.
Yeah.
We have been with this four people
now two weeks in a room.
Wow! Arnold is back. Amazing!
We are super happy.
We can show you after
that the car is really much higher now, the camper.
Wow, it's a monster.
-It's incredible. -Fantastic!
So good to be back.
So much higher now.
Incredible, amazing.
Are you excited?
Are we excited!
Let's... go!
Holá, Holá it was a pretty shit day.
We even used these the first time.
Me of course, I am always like freaking out.
Okay, we were almost at our campground now.
It is 8 o'clock...
just turned dark
and...
We are super scared.
I am super scared.
The camper completely felt both ways.
A truck stopped there to help us.
Gigantic catastrophe.
But now I think he is going to help us.
And yeah...
maybe we are good, maybe we are not.
We don't know how long we travel.
But yes...
The chassis bended more than it was
and...
we arrived at a point that we don't know
if gonna still travel or not.
We just fixed everything and now its...
gigantic, so, let's see.
Yeah, let's see.
The camper...
felt...
completely hitting the street.
I could see in my mirror the fire sparks
from the metal scratching on the asphalt.
We...
think that both metal strings left and right
broke at the same time...
which never happened before.
And now...
we were a little bit in panic.
Put on our alarm vests...
put the triangle out.
Camper on the ground.
We could draw attention to us
by putting out
some light from our iPhones
so, a truck driver stopped
and helped us to...
attach with a...
hydraulic jack
the camper...
in the back of our truck again.
The whole chassis is completely bent.
The back of the camper looks like this now.
We don't really know what to do.
It is impossible to drive with this car.
We are driving now the whole time
ten kilometers per hour.
It is still 400 kilometers to Bariloche.
That means...
on this road seven hours.
Which is with this camper pretty much impossible.
We don't really know what to do...
and we gonna see now in the next Pueblo
if we gonna make it there.
I don't know what will happen next...
but...
I'm pretty sure it will not be anymore
our happy travel with Arnold.
Now Tin is taking the monkey that we have
and I'm sitting here waiting that...
everything is fine. Nothing completely explodes.
We're going to a guy which can take the camper.
We are going to drive without the camper
to a city to try to fix this.
The guy was supposed to be here at 8:30 a.m.
Of course, South America.
It's already 8:55 a.m.
and he is not here. But we have a friend here from this house
and he is going to take us there.
Ay, Tin took it I think.
Wow, it is super cold.
Cross the fingers that everything is going to be fine.
Now, we are on our way to Neuquen.
Where we gonna repair the truck.
And we don't know how long it's going to take
and we don't know how much it is going to cost.
We also don't know where we are going to sleep tonight.
It took us a while
but DJI was cool enough to send us
a new drone for free...
because of an engine error.
The car is behind us
and we found a guy who
seems like he thinks he can fix it.
And now we hope maybe tomorrow it is done...
if not tomorrow the day after
and now we are in the middle of nowhere.
-Really in the middle of nowhere. -Nowhere but super beautiful!
-Super beautiful. -And they have one AirBnB.
and this is what we're gonna reserve now.
We hope Arnold is soon safe and sound.
Super hungry.
And yeah.
Yeah, I am cooking here
pasta with paprika
and tomato sauce.
What is really incredible I think in Argentina
is that everywhere
we are right now, this sunlight is so amazing.
Look this. Yeah, right now it's not even
really sunset and you have already
this incredible light
And also...
during the whole day, it's just amazing.
It just looks the whole day...
like it would be sunset.
It is 12:44 a.m. in the middle of the night
and our trip is over.
I just spoke to the guy, who was trying
to repair our chassis
and he sent me pictures right now
and it's not like
the chassis are a little bit broken
they broke several times.
New day, so we gonna try to repair the basics
and make our way to Santiago.
Now the car is supposed to be ready.
We are going to pick it up right now.
Feeling rich in a foreign currency.
All of that is...
100 Euro.
Then we gonna drive with the car
to the camper.
Pick the camper up...
put the camper on top
and drive with it to Santiago.
Ready...
Arnold!
The last Patagonian gasoline price.
Tin has back problems, poor guy.
But I have crackers.
We gonna cross today to Chile!
They gonna take my Amazon nuts.
We are still four hours away from Santiago.
We arrived in Santiago
and we got welcomed by these amazing dogs.
There were actually just two dogs Daisy and this guy Lumo.
Now I don't know, there's five
and I think there is even more.
Because they got five or six puppies.
And now we're just figuring out the situation
here in Santiago...
about selling the car and how and to who
and if we can maybe also take these puppies with us.
And then in a couple of days
we have our flights...
to Germany and to Brazil.
Baby so many, Tin.
So many.
So many, what should we do?
This are our last moments with Arnold.
It was so amazing what we discovered.
So many crazy places I would have never
thought I would ever go to.
Just to think about it, is super amazing.
Really sad, but it is so fantastic
and it's gonna break my heart
I know already, when we're going to take the
South America map and all the other stickers.
Arnold was the best car that
we could have found, no?
Yeah and now, Arnold is getting taken apart
and maybe getting a new owner.
Arnold!
Today is the day to fly back home.
But, together.
So, you are not going to study in the Netherlands?
Yes...
see you next week!
So...
good morning!
What is the number?
Number three.
Ariane say, "number four".
Number four.
Come here.
Lay down my love.
Number five.
Not that.
Six.
Okay...
You have to be careful Tin, with your face.
This is number 39.
This is number 40.
This is 41.
This is 43.
No, Tin...
let me talk something.
Okay, 46 and clap.
Say...
46 and clap.
Hold on...
54
57
No, should we sing... together?
Clap.
71
You have to clap actually.
Yeah, don't eat the cracker yet.
Say you.
Yeah, I wanted to say...
you didn't let me say.
Say.
No, now I don't know what I wanted to say.
Oh my gosh.
74
Come on fast because--
-Now it is 95, Ariane. -No, 94.
