Hi. I´m Jeff Santos. I´m from Brazil. When I was a kid I had to walk a league to visit my grandma. A league is around 3.5 miles. I was 7 years old. She lived in a village called Boavista. It´s nice view in Portuguese. That´s what I expected during my thru-hike: nice views. If you don´t speak Portuguese you can use Google Translator to read more at www.longadistancia.com . If you prefer pictures and videos, follow me on Instagram or YouTube. Cheers.

The Appalachian Trail is more difficult to some people. Being a Brazilian, everything is harder, more expensive and complicated.
