Overlanding Community

Planning a trip of this magnitude is no easy feat… hours of planning and consideration has to go into every aspect of the trip.  It’s taken me over a year and a half to get this far…

Useful Information is freely available, mostly by other overlanders’ blogs and websites.  

The overlanding community are helpful beyond words and you’ll find a wealth of information from joining forums and talking to those who have gone before. Here are some that I have found super useful:
