We’ve always been curious about what lays behind the next turn. This is what got us into overlanding in the first place.

It all started in 2010 with a Land Rover Defender 110 which we equipped and shipped from Switzerland to the US. From there, a threeyear journey started. First we crossed the United States from coast to coast, made our way to Alaska and then basically followed the Pan-American Highway from Prudhoe Bay all the way to Ushuaia, Argentina.

From there we followed the east coast of South America to Venezuela. We had experienced many different cultures and landscapes, drove stunning tracks up to 5300 m asl (17388 ft asl) in the Andes, crossed the Amazon Delta on a small boat and the thick rainforest in the Guyanas.

After that journey we knew that this is the lifestyle we want to pursue. This became our focus upon our return to Switzerland. A few years later we started out again with a Mercedes Benz Axor 4x4 expedition truck. We have now been living in it full-time for four years.

Since then we have traveled to the hottest place on earth, the Lut Desert in Iran with 65C (149F), and the coldest inhabited town, Oymyakon, Russia, with -52C (-61,6F), crossed the Gobi Desert, drove across frozen rivers in Siberia and off-road in the Sahara Desert. To this date we have mapped our way through 55 countries, five continents and 250’000km (155343m). We can’t wait to see the rest of the world.
