We are a Dutch couple who have been dreaming about travelling the world in an off-road vehicle since we moved to Australia in 1981, we have travelled approximately 300,000km throughout Australia between 1982 and 2009. The last 140,000km has been in the period 2004 to 2009. We enjoy the deserts, remote places, beautiful scenery, bush camping and camp fires. After many nights discussing the possibility of an around the world trip, we made the decision to semi retire and then start travelling around the world. Between 2009 and March 2020 we covered 343000 Km crossing Africa (East and West), Europe to Mongolia (via Russia), Mongolia to Singapore covering China, Tibet and South East Asia, the sub- continent India–Nepal–Pakistan–Iran and the Middle East. In 2016 we shipped to South America and to-date Jan 2020 we covered Argentina, Chile, Bolivia,Brasil, Uruguay, French Guyana, Guyana, Suriname, Peru, Equador, Galapagos Islands and Colombia. In fact except of Paraquay & Venuzuela we covered every country in South America. In 2020 we arrived in Central America, in 2023 we entered the USA from Mexico Currently (2024) in the Western USA but returning back to Mexico to explore Northern Mexico before heading East to wards Central USA and Florida ready to explore the Eastern USA for the next 2 years.
