New to Overlanding, from the Netherlands!

Rig: 2001 TOYOTA Landcruiser PRADO - 95
Location: Nuenen, The Netherlands, Western Europe
Experience: Novice to overlanding, plenty experience of hiking, camping, outdoors.

Just made in feb 2020 the decision to buy a landcruiser Prado (2001) to have fun with. Just to see different places and go beyond camper-capabilities. To feel an inner joy just by starting this 4 cilinder diesel.

I bought this rig with 350k on the odometer, to me quite scary and actually didn’t know what I bought. Now, a few months later, have I so much more faith in what it can do. Hopefully I can bring it up to a half a million K on my part.

I’m convinced that Overland Bound will take a huge part in the Overland scene here in Europe. You Michael, and your team off course, have it all covered and what Isn’t there yet, will follow automatically I’m sure.

Keep up all your great efforts. It is highly appreciated and even more .... inspirational for having those necessary adventures!

All the best and stay safe.

Zimmie.
