A 29-year-old influencer who was living his dream of traveling from his home country of Brazil, through the Americas to reach Alaska, has died just two days from his destination.

Jesse Koz has traveled 52,000 miles and 17 countries in his 1978 Volkswagen Beetle with his pet Golden Retriever Shurastey since he began his trip in 2017.

But on Monday, Koz and his pet were killed in a head-on crash with a Ford Escape on US Highway 199 near Selma, Oregon. Koz and his dog were pronounced dead at the scene.

RIP

 

That's very sad, but also I think that reporter is really not good at geography.

I guess it depends on his final destination in Alaska. Like, Skagway is under 2 days (of straight driving) from Selma Or.

 

Sure, but is it two days drive from Alaska? Not unless you drive like a madman.

And since it had taken him 5 years to drive from Brazil to Selma, no way was it going to take him just 2 days to finish the trip.
