We left you hanging on what happened in our last days in Haifa? Most of our time was spent on daily walks, some admiring the views from the top of breathtaking Mt Carmel and others within the urban center where…
The welcoming sign at the border said “Welcome to the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan”! With still mixed feelings and a sort of bittersweet taste, we had crossed the Jordan-Saudi Arabia borders into our next adventure. Going back into “The Kingdom…
One of the most difficult moments in overlanding as mentioned in the past is when you leave from a place that has won your heart. We must admit that leaving Najran was not an easy decision but as the journey…
Saudi Arabia was for many years a destination that was mostly overlooked or turned away by the fear of the unknown by many travelers. Because of its isolation from the rest of the world for years, any travel here seemed…
With Saudi Arabia probably earning the title of the gem in our trip so far, we will leave the details of our adventures there for our next post, as it would feel more completed that way. So in this post…
With an abundance of natural beauty, spectacular mountains, windblown deserts and a long unique coastline, Oman represents the Arabia like it used to be before the discovery of oil. It boosts low-rise towns, traditional Bedouin values and a really fascinating…
For most people, the United Arab Emirates mean just one place: Dubai, the mega city of iconic skyscrapers, palm-shaped islands, city-sized malls, indoor ski slopes and fancy beach resorts. But if you look beyond that, you will find a diverse…
With very little traveling done since our last post, I will dedicate this new post talking about a process that is considered to be a nightmare for every overlander. That is no other than “The SHIPPING Process”. If you have…

This month’s diary takes us further south along the coast with primary destination Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world and the only place where rainforest grows on sand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ADuXyWc6Ws&t=27s Prior to that though, we had the Covid…
In our previous diary, it was all about the adrenaline pumping while undertaking Cape York. Well, after all that intense off road driving, it was time to regroup and so this diary will be all about chilling and our sophisticated…
Living full time on the road is not always as ideal and beautiful as it looks in the pictures you see in the social media. This lifestyle is not very different from a normal life and therefore it comes with…
While driving through the red center of Australia, we were certainly astonished with the beautiful locations that this part of the country has to offer, something that didn’t stop in Alice Springs but it continued and got even more impressive…
Life on the road would be boring without the unexpected happening all the time. This time it was floods! Big floods that hit NSW! After taking a river cruise on board one of the old paddle-steamer in Echuca, we retreated…
With our second lockdown in place in Australia, our trip to Tasmania had to be postponed. No sweat for us overlanders though, we moved our dates months ahead and replanned our route. Something that has become quite often these strange…
In our original plan, after departing Port Lincoln, was to head straight for Adelaide but in overlanding world, the original plan is never the plan that you follow and that is what makes overlanding so unique. This time, and after…
In our last post we stopped our story telling at building our Aussie HQ as well as celebrating Christmas and Rochelle’s birthday at the farm. As the above is not overlanding related, I won’t get into further details other than…
