The Americas
This is the earliest adventure recorded on this website and started in March of 2009. At the time we were novices at this overlanding thing and really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. As it turned out .... read more

After completing our The Americas adventure we mistakenly believed that we would not undertake any more vehicle based travel outside North America and with that mind set, in 2011 just after OverlandExpo, we purchased a used 2008 Earthroamer. However as plans .... read more
Motorcycle Adventures
In 2015 on our annual return to the US, I Robert, decided to get myself a motorcycle license (my first ever experiences with motos) and a year later (again on our annual return to the US) I bought my first motorcycle a 2011 BMW1200 GS. That same year that motorcycle presented me with a broken leg and thats why we did not return to Europe that year. It was probably inevitable .... click this link to read more.
A Great Train Journey
In 2024 we undertook a A Great Train Journey, from Singapore to London by train. Not one train but a series of interlinked train routes. The trip took us through Malaysia, Laos, China, Tibet, Kazakstan, Georgia, Azerbajan, Turkey, Austria, and France. Click the following list to read the details or see the map of this amazing journey.

Motorcycle Adventures Round Australia
On May 16th of this year (2025) I (Rob) set out to ride a motorcycle solo and unsupported around Australia.
I expect the journey will cover 14,000-15,000 km, and and last something like 8 to 12 weeks. The route will be clockwise around the continent from Sydney and will try to largely avoid the coastal regions of the country. To the extent possible this will be an outback expedition.

Along the way we will visit over 30 ports in African and Asian countries as well as some of the worlds smallest island Nations. ..... click to see more.
A Tour Round the Island (Klang Port, Malaysia)
Journal entry for Thursday 26th Feb, 2026 (day 8, miles 0)
It is Thursday so it must be Malaysia. The day started inauspiciously as we had to run about 500 meters to the port building and the tour bus in torrential rain. But the day got better after that.

Journal entry for Tuesday 24th Feb, 2026 (day 7, miles 0)
Today turned out to be very successful. The first win of the day was obtaining an ample supply of the medication I was foolish enough to leave at home. This required a visit to a doctor to get a prescription; this was arranged online even before we got to the port. Second was getting the drugs from a local hospital pharmacy, the doctors office helped by calling the pharmacy to ensure they had an adequate supply. The doctors visit cost me about AUD$60. The running around from ship to doctors to hospital and then back to the ship was easy. Most Singapore cabbies speak a little English and take credit/debit cards. Also Grab is the Asian equivalent of Uber.

Journal entry for Monday 23rd Feb, 2026 (day 6, miles 0)
Today was our first full day at sea and it should have been a relaxing day, but it was not. We discovered last night that we had failed to bring along the full supply of one of the drugs that I take every day. So I spent much of the day trying to arrange a doctors appointment in Singapore which is where we will stop on the 24th and 25th.

Today we had our first excursioin ashore. The location was an Island called Ko Samui and our excursion was a tour over the islands main mountain and return along the coast. Our transport was sitting in the back of a Toyota HiLux 4x4. Fortunately the cargo area of these vehicles was fitted out with seats and canvas roof.
