Here you will find:
- Travel memoirs about overlanding and other adventurous undertakings.
- Guidebooks and phrasebooks we used

Great to read of your travels far and beyond as shared on your easy to navigate website. We have in recent years self-published a book of our journey in our Series 3 LWB Land Rover camper, 40,000 miles through 29 countries in Europe, Africa and Asia in 1977 – a mere trifle of a journey compared to your mega trips. However following our travels we did return to Mali West Africa where we worked for 14 years and brought up our family of 4 children with many overland trips as part of our daily activities. We are excited now to be promoting our book called “Strangers like Angels – with a devil or two to boot”.
Wishing you safe travels, Greetings from Alec & Jan Forman.
Good to hear from you. We’ll look forward to be reading your story!
My book recommendation for Russia, Mongolia and the Stan Countries is anything written by Sylvain Tesson. Some of his books have even been translated in Dutch (my girlfriend is Dutch and is currently reading Berezina (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24683905-berezina).
But actually I landed on this page to look for a book written by you 🙂 Did I miss it or did you really not put your adventures on paper (yet) ?
Thanks for that suggestion. Will look it up. Many of our adventures have been put on paper, but for magazines. Indeed a book has been in the making for years, but the last step to get it published has been put off constantly for a number of reasons…
