Felipe Machado is the only contestant from Rio Grande do Sul in the competition and will represent Brazil in the Wild Card Team

Felipe Machado, an undergraduate student of the Design course at Feevale University, was chosen to join the Red Bull Wild Card Team of the Red Bull challenge Can You Make It? From the 200 groups selected to participate in the competition, 199 are formed by students coming from the same university and only Machado's team is heterogeneous, made up of students from different parts of the world: the Brazilian student; Evangeline Chan, from Malaysia; and Anastasiia Volchenkova, from Ukraine. From April 10 to 17, competitors will travel across Europe - at least four countries - without money and cell phone, using only Red Bull as their currency.

According to Machado, it will be interesting to meet the challenge with the members of the Wild Card Team, since they have only known each other over the Internet. "We will learn the importance of working together and how important individualities are for achieving common goals. I believe that I will grow a lot as a person, because the challenge is an experience in which human relations are the keys to survive since we will be helped by complete strangers. In addition, I hope to know places that I have never been to and to understand more about the local cultures, languages, customs and to live this experience the best I can every minute because it will be unforgettable.”

The trip will be broadcast to 60 countries, as well as the entire journey will be reported on the Red Bull Facebook, Instagram and YouTube pages. During the trip, Machado will need followers, likes and comments on the posts he will publish on his Instagram (@lipeomachado) through an application on a device that the company will provide. The more interactions on social networks, the more cans competitors will receive to accomplish the tasks, as well as to feed themselves, travel and sleep.
