Making Friends on the Road

Overlanding is never just about driving from A to B. It’s about staying in places, visiting sites, enjoying the outdoors, rough camping. Meeting people and making friends is a super important part of your overland trip. It’s guaranteed to leave you with the best memories of your journey.
