I am lucky to get to explore. I am lucky to live in a country that has so much to offer me as an overlander. There are so many different types of terrain that I can reach without having to cross borders, which makes it easy. As explores we all long for a super long distance, country to country, self sustained overlanding trip. Unfortunately most of us will never get to experience overlanding outside of our own country, heck a large portion might never overland out side their own state. And I feel there is nothing wrong with that, and I am stoked that people make the most of what they can and get out, because the point is to simply to get out and explore. This brings me to a huge Thank You to the Expedition Overland team and what they do.
I just finished the 6th episode of the South American Expedition. Watching the rigs cross a river on boats that I'm not sure I would feel safe on with just a suitcase was fun and exciting. The tight and steep street roads of Bolivia were crazy and they did it pulling a trailer! The Death Road made my hands sweat watching the thousand feet drop offs on sketchy roads where the dirt starts to fall out from under your tire, WOW! Its even more crazy because this is a road use by people just doing everyday life. It is called Death Road for a reason and seeing some of the crosses along the side of the road reminds you that people lost their lives on this road just doing everyday life. One of the best moments was watching them take the older couple down that road to their home and that tells me more about the people of Expedition Overland than any adventure they could ever show us, way to go guys.
The team of Expedition Overland works together so well to get the best shots and tell a great story. This is more than just entertainment for me they have made me feel like I have been with them since day one. I cannot image the work that goes into planning these long trips, my 5 day trips sometimes can be overwhelming if I am planning for more that just myself. This team has so much talent when it comes to the editing and the filming of these episodes it is amazing. I cannot wait for each episode they put out because they are so consistent with the high quality of each video they produce.
Again Thank You Expedition Overland for the videos. Please continue to take us with you as you travel and explore the world. For those of us that can only dream of doing this we thank you. You have brought these places closer to us. You have given all of a kid like excitement to go explore our own backyards and you have maybe even inspired some of us to travel the world and explore.
