Overlanding from homeApr 14, 2020
Mali Mish - Dan, Marlene, Ava, Mila & Luka ( 32 countries and counting, 12 years on the road family of 5) Dometic fridges and bunny rabbits
What a great time chatting. 12 years is no joke and they've got it down to a "T". Hilarious random ending and well planned layout how to live simplistically yet super happy withy the right choices. The photography paints a very accurate picture how happy they are and we never got to chat about all sorts sorts of stuff. I think we can all take lessons how a family of 5 lives off a Dometic 75L camping fridge. I hope you enjoyed listening to this and hopefully another one on how school work is done, vehicle maintenance and juggling van chores coupled with parenting.

Khaya on wheels - Martijn van Der Put (Uganda, Big Bertha, National Luna, 1986 Hilux series 1)
This was a learning curve how to live without clutter. Do we really need it - is the question?
Martijn has really captured overlanding in it's amazing simplest form by giving back for his keep. Nearly lost his vehicle because of the hand break but listen to the story and figure out how you can do the same thing. Similar (but different) story to Ferenc from Overlandsite, go and listen to that for more tips but enjoy this first with a cup of tea or coffee.

Ountravela - Victor and Olivia (Kyrgyzstan & Ladakh), no plan, spot a track and go and take local advice along the way... French explorers
I truly hope you enjoy young spirits. This couple are doing it the right way. They've already written two travel books which are informative, supportive and shows what you can expect if you follow their routes. No plans just guidelines. Be warned about the local beer but you'll drink it if you're in a jam like they where right?

Beka Malania - Podcast with Beka from Russia (Tractor tyres, all diff locks, from Saint Petersburg and does short trips only
This chat dropped my jaw a little. A real Russian that changed his vehicle so much he fitted Tractor tyres. removes snakes and frogs from his vehicle when getting bogged. Russian mapping is great and he uses a proper system to get it done and make sure they know what they're able to do.
Listen and enjoy
Paul Marsh 4x4 - Navigation, Tracks4Africa, Garmin, Gaia maps, Hema maps (episode 2)
Yet another informative chat with Paul. Today we challenge in hard copy vs electronic maps. The difference between the options each app brings from Google maps, tracks4africa, maps.me and all the others. Then we touch base on vehicles Paul owned and what brings them to life, Lastly I find out he's building a 80 series and using his knowledge from previous builds and suppliers from when he loved lived in the UK.
Woza Africa - Nicholas & Kate. Stranded for 66 days, novice overlanders and used paper maps
This is a great young story. I say that because they set out with little and got maximum out of it. Paper maps, didn't know how to overland and got stuck in Congo for over 60 days due to the virus. One of the best connections in Africa is architecture and photography - Africa is wide open for that and they're experiencing that. Listen, follow and enjoy watching there story unfold
Translating the name means Come Friends and it's perfect.
Venezolano En Un Viaje - Alias Rodríguez. The worst days not bad , they're experience
Welcome to the first Podcast from Latin America. Meet Elias a well travelled, easy going, travels with his Boston terrier Kiwi and Coco type of guy. I really enjoyed this and completely in aw of the areas you've managed to get through. Forced to drive from Venezuela because of the violence and went home to Chile through Bolivia and completely loved it (much I would). Fishing before he was a teenager and stuck with what his father taught him - love it bud.
Thank you for listening

Going home to Africa - Dot Bekker. Happy Zimbabwean, Learnt the overlanding wave, tar tyres and stuck in sand
I was honoured to have Dot as my first Overland from home guest. Wonderful laughs and so many stories going through each country. "deigned" her tailor made van into areas we would believe needed 4x4 only. We are all wrong. Dot Happily took on challenges because she's happy to be African and heading to her home country. Goes to show, what you put in is what you get out.
Check the map and her channels.

Mototesto Overland Equipment (Philippines) – Tim Tuazon. A generation of Overlanders.
This ended up having a bunch of great surprises. A family of two use a 95L Waeco. “If it rains you’re stuck for 12hrs” and a standard family convoy of 6 vehicles (before sending out invites). These are things to expect and it was great. Some big logistics, terrorists and humanitarian work. Please listen, like and follow his channels below.
