Overlanding-Why we must go overlanding and why it is good for us.

Are you one of the ones that feels lost at times?  Always looking to the horizon?  When you reach a destination do you wonder what is around the next corner?  I am one of those people.  Like the nomadic instinct that is within me I am always searching.  Searching in very aspect of my life for more.  More love, more memories, more time, more adventure.  We have had to adapt to living in a cube, being in a box, and we are losing our place outdoors.  It is not what we are meant to do it is not who we are meant to be.  Some people have adapted better than others and even strive in doing so.  But for me it makes me feel lost and trapped.  I feel free when I am on the road, when I am on an adventure, and when I am outside away from concrete, towers, and noise. It is not that I don't like being around people, because I do.  I love talking, sharing, and community. I just am one of those that keeps needing to push forward and I am curious about what is out there.  I need to see it, I need to touch it,  and I need to experience it.  I don't just want to read about it in books or see it in pictures and think isn't that awesome.  I want to stand there and feel the air on my skin, smell the freshness of nature, and have the experience of life and of adventure at the same time.  I feel that is why I am drawn to this overlanding lifestyle and probably why I feel even more trapped at times.  I try, just like some of you, to cram as much of this overlanding lifestyle in the short about of time I have when I go.  Not to do things fast, but to absorb every single sight, sound, and the smell of the outdoors that I can.  To embrace the adventure along the way and to also find out what is around the corner, over that mountain, and just beyond my reach.  I want to be close to it, I want to touch it, I want to stand on it, I want to be apart of it.  Getting connected in this way fills me up and keeps me going.  This is why I do it, why I travel, why I explore, why I overland, and why I GO ALL OVER.
