Building a full-size expedition truck in 8 weeks: fact or fiction?

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 […]

Morocco: Did we get stuck in the sand?

Featured Video Play Icon

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 […]

Looks are deceiving …

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 […]

Overland Travel: The Wrath of Wales

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 […]

Build your own expedition truck: Dry toilet

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 […]
