From Cartagena, Colombia to Montevideo, Uruguay – Getting started

June 15, 2023

During 2021 we decided it was time for a new adventure. Taking advantage of good health and still feeling the call of overlanding we started preparing. And the truth is, over the years, we´d become comfortable, maybe even too comfortable, somehow caught up in daily routines and to do lists. This led to the start […]

A motorcycle diary: Heading to North Cape

January 3, 2015

In June 2014 we headed from Haugesund towards “Nordkapp”. This time we travelled by motorcycle, fulfilling another dream of travelling the Norwegian coast by road up north and travelling south with the well known Norwegian cruise ship “Hurtigruten”. We packed the motorcycle, a BMW R1200GS Adventure – carrying the absolute minimum necessary for the 2 […]

Towards the End of an Adventure

August 22, 2012

Our tour around the world with the family during 400+ days and more than 64000 km is almost at an end. It has been an experience of a life-time for all of us – a time to learn, a time to explore, a time to reflect on many issues, but more than anything a time […]

“You know, this is Pakistan”

August 9, 2012

This was expressed by our Pakistani guides several times during our stay together – as if stating that Pakistan is different. And truly Pakistan is different and this we experienced very clearly as we entered Pakistan from the Chinese border in the north by driving from Kashgar to Sost and then following the Karakoram highway. […]

Iran… What?

July 10, 2012

What comes to your mind when you hear the name of “Iran”? Maybe desert, nuclear power, unsafety, third World country, weapons and God knows what. Well that is definitely what I imagined. Iran was not in my list of countries that I wanted to visit during the world trip, actually it wasn’t in none of […]

Pakistán, del cielo al infierno (y viceversa)

July 4, 2012

A pesar de que habíamos sido advertidos de que Pakistán no era un país seguro y que teníamos que tener cuidado, ninguno de nosotros imaginó lo que nos esperaba al otro lado de la frontera: solo cruzarla ya nos pareció haber tocado el cielo sin sospechar que tan cerca estaría el infierno. Dijimos adiós a […]

Drama on the Karakoram Highway

June 23, 2012

Since part of the Karakoram highway, about 8 km, has disappeared due to a mountain top falling down in 2009, taking half a mountainside with it and creating the huge Abattabad lake (not yet on the maps), we had to ship the car on a small boat. First view of the Abattabad Lake (in the […]
