From corporate jobs to the open road: Three stories of life in a motorhome

The dream of traveling the world in a motorhome has captivated many, inspiring books, films, and a surge in social media aspirations. For Carolina Fenoy and Santiago Bertaina, this dream became a reality when they decided to "sell everything and go around the world." In 2019, feeling their lives were passing by despite successful careers and comfortable lives in Córdoba, Argentina, they made a life-altering decision.

Nine months later, they resigned from their jobs and embarked on their journey on January 6, 2020, in a custom-built camper. Their initial plan to travel from Ushuaia to Alaska was interrupted by the pandemic, leaving them stranded in Bariloche for nine months. After two and a half years living in their camper, they transitioned to a motorhome built on a 4x4 Toyota Hilux chassis, finally fulfilling their goal of traversing the Americas to Alaska.

Their travel style is fluid, adapting to variables like weather and local conditions, with the overarching aim of experiencing as much of the world as possible. Currently in Europe, they continue to define their route as they go. Their daily routine, they explain, is similar to anyone else's, involving waking up, making the bed, breakfast, work, exercise, and leisure time. The key difference lies in the unique logistics of motorhome living, such as finding suitable places to park and managing essential tasks like water and gas refills.

Fenoy and Bertaina have transformed their journey into a sustainable venture. They operate under the brand hakunamatataxelmundo.com.ar, monetizing their experience through content sales, books, courses, consulting, and an online store for travelers. This entrepreneurial approach allows them to fund their ongoing travels and live their dream.
