This is an adventure book.
One evening Jen and I came up with this idea: let’s drive as far as we can, but let’s also avoid the main roads. The idea quickly turned into reality: we quit our jobs, bought a Land Rover and went for a drive to the other side of the world.
And so the adventure began.
Shortly we came up with another idea: let’s see to what kind of other adventures we can get ourselves into. So to make things even more exciting we came up with the following 3 rules:
1. Leave the main roads.
2. Go as remote as possible.
3. Check what’s out there.
It worked. Those simple rules indeed made the adventure a lot more interesting. It's no surprise: with open minds and good senses our world is an exciting place, full of surprises and discoveries. The perfect material for the adventure.
Examples? Sure. A few selected ones:
- Find a forgotten village in Albania and mark it on the map.
- Locate the last traditional nomads in Tuva Republic, Siberia, and show them a Land Rover.
- Locate the 5 hidden waterfalls in the muddy jungles of Laos.
- Survive with only two spare wheels in the Steppe of Kazakhstan.
This book is a collection of stories from our journey. Some of the stories are about driving far (and then getting stuck); some are about random places and people; some are about all sorts of side missions we decided to give to ourselves. Sure, there are stories here about Overlanding, but there are many others about anything else that is travelling and having fun.
Happy reading,
Noam
