Less is more: Plan your trip carefully and avoid unnecessary baggage. Only use waterproof electronic devices when traveling and ensure your equipment is lightweight.

• Recommended tech for documenting an expedition: solar power bank, iPhone Pro, GoPro, and a drone.
• Essentials for the jungle: flashlight, knife, trekking shoes, jeans, long-sleeve Lycra, headwear with neck protection, backpack, water bottle, nuts, dried fruit.
• Brazil and the rainforest: Brazilians do not cut down more trees than Europeans. To preserve the rainforest, we should reforest and promote the reduction of pastureland. Investment in the future through the responsibility of all as a global community.
• Courage to travel: No dangerous situations, trust in locals and guides. Experience a different life, perception, and culture. Inspiration from indigenous people in dealing with resources and nature.
• Nature experience: Not seeking thrills, but connection with nature. Enthusiasm for the healing powers of nature. Admiration for the simplicity of life among indigenous people.
