Blog
We are full-time travelers exploring the outdoors overland-style. Ever since buying the Defender back in 2015 we have been sharing stories online. We started out on Facebook, but soon Instagram and the website came to life as well. Our mission is to inspire others to explore the outdoors and travel the world overland.
