The final approach(Cyprus & Turkey) SO3Ep28
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 Holly Lands Circle(Jordan & Israel)SO3Ep27
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…
The Red Sea coast(Saudi Arabia)SO3Ep26
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…
Empty Quarter to Red Sea(Saudi Arabia)SO3Ep25
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…
Exploring the Persian Gulf(Bahrain & Kuwait)SO3Ep24
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…
From Peaks to Coast(Oman) SO3Ep23
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…
Exploring the Emirates(UAE)SO3Ep22
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…
The Crossing to Middle East(UAE)SO3Ep21
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…
Broome to Perth(Australia)SO3Ep20
Upon our return, a year and a bit later, back in Western Australia’s Kimberly region meant that the countdown of the Australian part of our trip had started and was now heading towards its completion. An oxymoron really but there…
Gold Coast to Broome(Australia)SO3Ep19
Every long overland trip has what is considered to be its turning point and so did ours. With New South Wales out of limits because of Covid, Victoria under lockdown and the coast of Queensland completed, we had reached our…
Yeppoon to Brisbane(Australia)SO3Ep18
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…
Cairns to Mackay(Australia) SO3Ep17
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…
Cairns & Cape York(Australia)SO3Ep16
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…
Devils Marbles to the Savannah Way(Australia)SO3Ep15
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…
Murray river to MacDonnell Ranges(Australia)SO3Ep14
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…
Round around Victoria(Australia)SO3Ep13
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…
Adeleide to Melbourne(Australia) SO3Ep12
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…
Nullarbor Plains to Adeleide(Australia) SO3Ep11
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…
Perth to Denmark(Australia) SO3Ep10
There was one special reason that we made our way back to Perth this time, and that was my application for a new visa. After taking into consideration the world’s current situation and the Covid-19 lockdowns around the globe, we…
