    Brazilian influencer, Jesse Koz, also tried to travel from Argentina to Alaska. He traveled alongside his pet in a Volkswagen Beetle, they passed away after an accident in Oregon. I feel like going on this journey, Argentina to Alaska, in his honor

      He did not walk the entire country every day that's a lie. He only covered 30 miles A-day. I know guys that tour on bicycles that would take 2 years from Alaska to Argentina so it must have taken him 20 years to do it which I. Don't believe he's done it
