We have been overlanders for over twelve years. During that time, we traversed large parts of Europe and Africa and learned a lot. We hope to inspire and inform you, so you feel empowered to travel more adventurously. We will not only share our milestones but also provide you with nifty overlander tricks and real insights into our lives.
Besides that, we believe it’s important to invest in high-quality gear that supports you on your adventure. So don’t forget to check out our reviews.
