Travelblog, in dutch but soon with short reviews in English

We are a Swiss couple who travel with our Toyota Land Cruiser, called Mahangu around the world. We left Switzerland in September 2006 and travelled already some part of this wonderful world. And we still love it and continue... If you want to know more about us and our worldtrip, the car, the routing, people we met and adventures we had - have a look!

I think there are 2 types of people who do this gig, biker nuts who want to go travelling, and travelling nuts who want to go biking. To be fair I'm being harsh, Dave is mostly piss taking and Marc is just being careful. A small blot on what has already been a mental trip, and its only just started.

Between 5th October 2010 and 7th March 2011 Rob and Sarah drove 31,925 kilometres (21,300 miles), took some 7500 photographs, travelled through 18 countries from England through Eastern Africa right down to Agulhas Point, the southern most point of the African Continent. They met many fascinating people,saw endless breathtaking scenes and befriended the most unlikely of animals.

Betty (Rosann) is riding a motorbike …around the world (with Dan)…a little bit at at time…mostly in 3 month bites. (one of us has to work) The story is loosely about Betty…travelling through countries and little towns…bypassing big cities and big highways (as much as possible).
Encouraged by friends, work mates, complete strangers and family…we write a little bit of story each day…take a few photos…the odd movie…a few maps and other stuff (bad jokes and inappropriate language) added on as well.
Mostly, the story is easy to understand…except for the little bits of Tasmanian peculiar language and spelling……….just ignore these bits.

During one trip to Nova Scotia on motorbike, Autumn and Adam stopped and asked each other how to keep this trip going. The solution was simple, Lose the debt, lose the goods, and set the priorities. Three years later, they are well on the way. Keep track of their findings and adventures on No Map Nomads, Half logistical, Half Philosophical.

From December 2009 through the spring of 2010 I'll be traveling by motorcycle from Boulder, Colorado through Mexico, Central America and South America.
The purpose of this trip is simple- to live in the moment, enjoy life, see the world, make some great memories and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
