How much does it cost to travel the world? Want to know more about the price tag of buying or building an expedition truck, then this is the right post for you.
ABSOLUTELY FICTION!!! Even for a professional – with a team and all the materials (and vehicle) in stock – this is very difficult to achieve. Every time we thought “a simple thing” would only take one hour it easily took up a full day if not longer. How long did it take us? After 2.5 […]
What you need to know if you want to build or buy a full-size expedition truck under 7.5 ton.
Alone on the road … deciding each day what we want to do, what to cook and where to watch the evening sky. That is what we love to do and that is how we ended up in Morocco. No exact route planned in advance…only Elmer’s ten-year-old Morocco memories guiding us. No ferry booked beforehand […]
My dear fellow travelers, I have been “suggested” not to write this post. But stubborn as I can be, I do it anyway 🙂 . I believe it’s my responsibility towards you, whom I try to inspire and inform, to go beyond posting only the umpteenth sunset picture. So here it is. #vanlife In April […]
Pradena, a tiny village in the Province of Segovia, Spain. A town we would normally not have noticed, except …. It’s the end of November when we drive, with what now feels like a monster of an expedition truck, through Pradena. Where did all the people go? The streets are totally empty. All the […]
We have some catching up to do with our adventures on the road. Snow in the Pyrenees In the beginning of November we left Germany to escape fall/winter in search for some warmer weather in Portugal. You would think the further south you would go the warmer it gets. Wrong! Our first snow of […]

Hedgerows We love Wales. Its beauty has surprised us in many ways (wait until you see the pictures & video). But there is a major downside to traveling through Wales when your vehicle is wider than a living horse-powered carriage, which once frequented these scenic roads. 450.000 km of hedgerows criss-cross the UK’s countryside. Their […]
The video (HD option) portrays part of the Eastern Highlands. Scotland’s warm soul Most of the pictures in the video are taken in Aberdeenshire & the Cairngorms National Park. Here we came across the following poem carved into stone: Take a moment to behold as still skies or storms unfold. In sun, rain, sleet or […]
After our stop in South Yorkshire, England, we drove up north to Scotland! Video Part 1: South Scotland & Ben Lawers National Nature Reserve
Dry toilet, also known as a separating toilet or compost toilet, is gaining popularity in the overland travel world. We built ours over a year ago. The commercial ones on the market are expensive (e.g. Separett Villa 9010 = 840€), and we wanted to make sure we liked this type of toilet before opening our wallets. Nature’s Head […]

Loch an Eilein We wake up 100metres from Loch an Eilein, located within the Cairngorm National Nature Reserve. The sun is already out. The weather forecast promises a sunny day, an exceptional good day for Scottish standards. Tip: When driving to Loch Eilein from West to East, follow the far more scenic B970 (starting from […]
The Fitzwilliam Wentworth Estate, in South Yorkshire, is our first stop after arriving in the UK*. Two very kind people, Barry and Marilyn, invited us here. Wentworth Estates Today the estates – approximate 15,000 acres today – are scattered around Wentworth Park. It’s in Wentworth Park where you can also admire the Big House, as […]

BAD OMEN It’s a warm spring evening and we’re enjoying cold drinks with our friends Holger and Moni. In two days we’re making our way to Poland. We will leave a day earlier because we want to make a stop near Berlin. Around 10:30PM a phone call put us all into action. We fill up […]
