WorldCape to CapeOtherwww.capetocape.org.ukThe Cape to Cape Expedition is an adventure of epic proportions. We set off on the 29th January 2008 and are driving a purpose built Land Rover from England to South America across Russia. We're currently on our way to Pevek. Across the frozen tundra of Siberia the Land Rover will be on bespoke tracks; when it reaches the Bering Strait it is converted to its amphibious state to cross 56 miles of water.2008
WorldKeep SearchingOtherhttp://www.keep-searching.net/I had been planning to travel the world for more than 4 years and I always had some reason holding me back. Given my upbringing and work-life that could seem strange. Gradually, I realized that most of these reasons were self-made obstacles and it basically just came down, like in most things, to mastering my fear, ignoring others and living my life as I wanted to. 2008
WorldHome2HomeAustraliawww.unamis.net/home2home/HomeEng.htmOur dream to do an overland 4x4 trip is something that was born over five years ago when we were living in Brussels. After four years here in the world’s most liveable city Melbourne, and after over 18 months of preparation we’re now ready to begin this adventure of a lifetime. The finish line will be in France, and our rediscovery and perhaps discovery as we settle in this country is also part of the challenge. But on the way towards France, we’ve decided to cross the only continent in which neither of us have ever set foot… and it’s with our feet firmly inside our 4 wheel drive that we will cross it: 7 months of adventure and exploration which will take us from South Africa, up the East African coast and into Tunisia. 2007
WorldSur les Chemins du MondeOtherwww.cheminsdumonde.netWe are a french couple who decided in October 2007 to leave for our world tour... Backpack? bike? 4x4? truck? No! Hachille, a former Citroen bakery van from 1969 is our vehicle during our travels around the world. 39 years old, 3 gears, 70 horsepower, original 1.9l engine, but such a nice look! We are not at all experts mechanics... but we learn on the road ... and Hachille is so simple mechanically that any good mechanic is able to fix it. We equiped this vehicle with all the facilities to live on board... and we first go to South America... then to Asia2007
WorldThe Infinite RoadAfrica & Americawww.theinfiniteroad.comabout two months ago, brian and i were on our lunch break discussing the possibility of driving to mexico to surf, and if we were to go as far as mexico, we may as well hit south america, and if we made it that far, we may as well go to africa, and so on... we came up with an imaginary itinerary and how much money and time would be needed to make it happen. as we plotted the would-be route, the more enthusiastic we became about actually doing it. we knew it would take a little scheming and a lot of work to acquire the funds to do it, but it seemed like it could be done. so that was it, it seemed possible, it seemed important, and that's all it generally takes to set us in motion. 2007
WorldLandrover overlandingEast & Westwww.overlanding.nl/English_index.htmlIn september 2006 we will be leaving from Holland to explore The World in our own car, a Landrover 110. We will first circumnavigate Africa overland. Heading south down the west coast to Cape Town and back north along the east coast. The plans at the moment are to ship the car from Kenya to Asia. In Asia we will start a new adventure. We would like to use this site to tell about our preperations for the journey. The route we want to follow is by no means certain. There are numerous reasons for following a different route. Civil war, political instability or even undriveable roads because of floods etc are reasons that we may change or route by thousands of kilometers. 2006

WorldThe Hard Way HomeAustraliahardwayhome.blogspot.comThe plan is to ride from London to Mainland Europe to France down to Spain, then into Africa, a place I have always dreamed of. Bare in mind this is all only a rough plan-then down the west coast of Africa, through the Sahara, then taking in such countries as Mali, Ghana, Cameroon, Congo, Angola, onto South Africa. Then hopefully my backside will not be to sore and the wallet is still reasonably full in which case I will head north up the East Coast through Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Sudan and into Egypt. Then up through the middle East to Turkey and onto Kazakhstan, into Russia and then down to Mongolia, riding across the Gobi desert. From Mongolia it gets tricky as there are a few problems in entering China, fingers crossed I get in and then its south to Loas, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, boat across to Indo and then island hop across the number of Indonesian islands to East Timor where I will put my trusty steed on a ship for Darwin. And finally if I am not over it by then Darwin to Cape York, Cape York to Turriff! All in all I should take in a site or two and cover around 40 thousand kilometers.2006

WorldOverland UnderwaterAustraliawww.overland-underwater.comTwo years in the planning, four friends teamed up to organise the ultimate lifetime experience... over a year and a half raising money for CARE International by undertaking a challenging journey of 65,000 km to drive from the United Kingdom to New Zealand. Our journey started from the UK at the beginning of August 2005 taking in as many amazing sights as possible, driving overland across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia, visiting 27 countries before arriving at our final destination of New Zealand in February 2007. Our aim was not to make it a race and we spent as much time as possible experiencing the many varied cultures, meeting the people and enjoying the true essence of adventure inherent with such an expedition. 2005

WorldBumfuzzleOtherwww.bumfuzzle.comWe recently returned from a four year sail around the world and are now on our way around again. This time in a 1958 VW Panelvan. Maybe not the sort of vehicle most people think of for an around the world journey, but we love it. We're not in a hurry, and there couldn't be a more simple vehicle to work on, so off we go. We've covered over 20,000 miles so far through Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. We're currently on our way to Alaska from where we'll ship overseas where ever we can get a container to go. We hope you'll all follow us along on our adventure at www.bumfuzzle.com2003
WorldLandcruising AdventureOtherwww.landcruising.nlWe are an adventurous Dutch couple, driving around the world in an old LandCruiser model BJ45. We simply sold everything we had and started driving east. Started in 2003 and now still on the road we covered the middle East, Pakistan, India, Bhutan, China, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and are now exploring the South Americas. Some say we are the slowest traveling people they know, but for us it is all about enjoying. We love driving the little roads and roam around, getting lost and see what the world has to offer - taste it, feel it, hear it, smell it. Forget about planning, forget about the initial two year boundary, This adventure has become our live, and we love what we do.2003
World2 Canadians on BikesOtherwww.2canadiansonbikes.com/"More important than packing a bag full of money, pack a bag full of patience and curiosity; allow yourself - encourage yourself - to be sidetracked and to get lost. There's no such thing as a bad trip, just good travel stories to tell back home. Always travel with a smile and remember that you're the one with the strange customs visiting someone else's country. Relying on the kindness of strangers isn't naive - there are good people wherever you go. And, finally, the more time you spend coming to understand the ways of others, the more you'll understand yourself. The journey abroad reflects the one within - the most unknown and foreign and unmapped landscape of them all, the ultimate terra incognita. As Mr. Twain Said, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - by Patricia Schultz 2002
