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 […]

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.

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 […]
