VIAGEM COM ESCALAS (Scale Travel)

Welcome to VIAGEM COM ESCALAS

GETTING TO KNOW NEW CULTURES

We are Beto and Sammy. A couple in love with travel. Those kind of couples made for each other

Which is only good when we are together. So, nothing better than being stuck in the smallest possible space. In our case, MARGARITA® ... wait, we're going to introduce you to her.

Since I was little I have a dream of living, possibly traveling, in a "rolling house", as they say in South America or the famous Motorhome as we speak in the United States.

I remember that, as a child, I accompanied my father, who worked with fields, land and subdivisions and, in these places, there were Trailers, those to pull, orange ... and I remember being fascinated and thinking: “Wow, it has a bathroom, table, bed ... you can go wherever you want ”. It was always in my thoughts, but I never really went after it. I always liked to travel by car, take roads without a destination and, whenever I found a sign, I went in to see what I had ... without a destination.

I've done some long trips, but the biggest one was from Miami to New York ... more than 2 thousand miles. It was done in 8 days, stopping in hundreds of places, visiting, knowing and the best, I felt free, without time, without hurry, without questions ... If I wanted to go there, I just went. Going back a bit in that sentence where I said: “but I never really went after it”, I believe it was because there was no one on my side who thought like me and wanted this life as much as I did.

Well, in 2016 this person appeared, who became my biggest travel partner and, mainly, life partner, including this car trip that I mentioned from Miami to NY, we did it together and it was from there that we started to think more seriously about it.

I've traveled a lot in my life. I've seen spectacular places, but nothing compares to this trip. Being on the side of the one you love, the one who supports you, the one who wants the same thing as you and the one who opines and agree with everything and anything that comes ahead.

I'm a video, audio and image editor and it makes it a little easier to have all of our adventures in the “palm of the external HD”, to watch whenever you want.

We always watch videos on YouTube of singles and couples who venture around the world. They leave Brazil for Ushuaia, South America, Mexico, United States, Canada and Alaska and this has always instigated us and we thought: “imagine how spectacular it is to be able to do all these routes, produce high quality content, be able to share with people, passing information, tips, routes and everything that this provides us as an experience.

Then we started to crawl. Youtube channel name. Nothing we thought seemed to fit, until we said: “we just said that EVERY little sign we enter to see what is there, didn't we? In other words, what people usually look for is everything "WITHOUT SCALES", I mean, everyone wants to get to their destination as quickly as possible and, if we want to enjoy the whole journey, why not "WITH SCALES", since everything what we want is to visit as many places as possible.

There, the VIAGEM COM ESCALAS (Trip with Scales) appeared.

From there came the name of the Van (since all travelers put a name on their Van, Kombi or whatever). It started. Gigi was the first name, but Gigi is already a character who accompanies us on all our trips and, for sure, will be with us on this one too.

Continuing the story of Van's name, we thought of Vanagem, Vanbora, Vancontudo, and a lot of other things that were coming up, but nothing pleased us.

Then we think: It has to be a woman's name, since this car, for us in Brazil, is "female". And one more thing, it couldn't be the same as anything we've seen in these traveler videos. This has already dramatically reduced the number of names.

We think: What are we most passionate about?

Answer: Orlando.

What do we like most about Orlando? Answer: Disney and Universal.

If you were to choose one of the two?

Answer: Universal.

At Universal Resorts we have Universal Park, Island of Adventure Park and City Walk (Entertainment Center). Among all this, what do we like the most, has a woman's name and no other Van? “PLIM” - the MargaritaVille restaurant.

So, MARGARITA® was born.

Now three processes were missing: ROUTE PLANNING

                                                                VAN PURCHASE MOTORHOME

                                                                TRANSFORMATION

Process 1: Route Planning

We already have. In short, it is: Sao Paulo - Ushuaia - Cross the border from Mexico to the United States - Florida - Chicago - Route 66 - Los Angeles - Canada - Alaska - Cross Canada from coast to coast.

Process 2: Buying the Van

Process 3: Transformation into a Motorhome
