Karin-Marijke and Coen, an adventurous Dutch couple, driving around the world in an antique Land Cruiser, model BJ45. We simply sold everything we had and started driving east. During our first 5 years on the road we travelled from Holland via Iran, Pakistan, India,China, Bhutan and Bangladesh to South East Asia where we visited Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.
Since January 2007 we've been exploring the beautiful countries of South America.
Some say we are the slowest travelling people they know, but for us it is all about enjoying the experience. We love driving on little roads and roaming around, getting lost and seeing what the world has to offer - tasting it, feeling it, hearing it and smelling it. Forget about planning; forget about our initial two years time-limit. This adventure has become our life, and we love what we do.

Our first trip was in 2004, we camped in the desert, swam in a pool and learned enough to go back again and again.......

We knew travelling in Central Asia and Russia during the early parts of winter was going to be cold. Temps dropped to -15 degrees outside and almost -4 inside the 4x4. Wrap up warm folks.

"In April 2003 we embarked upon a two-year, trans-world expedition in our custom-built, 6x6 Land-Rover called Nyathi. We intend to cover a distance of over 150,000kms, traversing more than 60 countries. We planned the trip for the best part of three years and jumped out of the rat race into the panic of what were last minute trip preparations..."
