Our adventure was inspired by folks we met while backpacking Guatemala in 2007. Since then we have learned there is an amazing amount of people young, old, families, with pets (bunnies and dogs) following their dreams and driving around the world or even just a few weeks… we have decided to post a few of them here on our site. There is an insane amount of people out there traveling and in fact we have no less then 50 blogs in my browser bookmarks… we will not post them all, but if you like one send it to us and we shall included it here.
NOTICE: After a few posts here, we decided to share our links in a more open medium so there are many more links to other adventurers at Expedition Portal a website and forum dedicated to overland travelers around the world. Please visit and join us there (Link)
First: The King and Queen of Overland Travel : Emil and Liliana Schmid the world record holders… they have been on the road for more than 25 years (as of 2009) on a truck very similar to ours. Their site is a little hard to navigate but well worth it.

Landcruising Adventure: A Dutch couple Marijke and Coen have been driving their ’84 Diesel Landcruiser since 2003… they are really doing it the right way.

UnURBANis a Norwegian couple, Malin and Espen driving a 2004 Nissan Patrol. In their own words: “unURBAN is a crew of two having time off and doing fun things. Part one is a drive across North AMerica from north to south, part two is driving South America from north to south and the next parts are not yet decided.” We like them, they sound just like us!!!
