Overlanding - requirements for an worldtrip

What is really required for travelling the world by car? Many ask me this questions, after my recent trips. The asking people dont seems to trust my words - if I tell them - "just a car, a tent and some camping gear". The rest is all optional and "up to you".

Ok, maybe this dosnt sound fair - they look at my well prepped 4x4 vehicle - back to me - not shure if I`m doing a joke.

Article: Worldtrip by vw beatle - transafrica, panamericana and more...

Dont want to say I dont need an 4x4 - just want to say that it is not necessary... Depends on what you want to do - during your trip!

An amazing read at their blog! We did start both our transafrica`s in the same timeframe, unfortunately we didnt meet.

You don't even need the car. Lots of people tour the world by bicycle or a small motorcycle.
