Hi everyone, I'm using my phone so I hope I'm doing it right:)

Anyways let me introduce myself, my name is Sebastian saury and is originally french but lived most of my life in Sweden, currently in the north together with my girlfriend and our 3 kids. I've been traveling all my life and always unplanned and just took day by day, done a lot of roadtrips but it was last summer everything begin. Me and my family was visiting my father in South of France, when we was going home we didn't want to take the fastest way home and ended up doing a 2 week roadtrip throu Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Czech, Austria, Germany and Poland, after that our interest in overlanding as a family was born.

Today we are back in France and are on our 3 week of overlanding, our rig is a wrangler with RTT and a very ugly homemade slide out kitchen.

We have lots of dreams and plans for future and hope to meet a lot of you guys:)

Hi Robert and thank you:) sounds awesome but we are back home far north of Sweden and working so it will be a hard one to join :( but we are passing by Germany in the end of the week:)

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

Great, we are living in the Netherlands, nearby the border. So, if you like you can come by.
Always fun having an OB member at our turf.

 

[Saury]

Sounds cool, but are we allowed to enter Netherlands now? Read something that the border is still closed, if it's possible and it's not to much of a detour we are happy to visit:)

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

We just came back from a Border tour, Germany and The Netherlands, no problem.
The border is open, was never shut between Germany and the Netherlands.

Hey, my name is Dan, I'm located in Fayetteville NC, running a built '94 ZJ. Pretty new to overlanding, but lots of experience with camping, backpacking, and offroad vehicles in general. I grew up with off road motorcycles, backpacking, hunting, and family camping, and then went in the army and spent a bunch of time in the woods and living out of all kinds of vehicles in all kinds of deserts. Right now I'm looking to do some trips with my kids, participate in a community, and learn.

Location: Quantico, VA
Current Vehicle: 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport
Future Vehicle: 2021 Subaru Forester Sport
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: I love the outdoors and what better way to spend time outside than with your vehicle you overpay for and the open road. Plus I like traveling.

 

[jayhawkgeoff]

Hey y’all. Just wanted to stop by and introduce myself.

My name is Geoff.
I’m based out of Houston, Texas.
My rig is a 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicon.
I wouldn’t say I’m a very experienced overlander. I feel like there’s always more knowledge to be gained, so being able to join a community where I can learn the right way to operate out on the trail is invaluable.

As COVID-quarantine begins to be lifted I hope to hit the road, and see you all out there. Thanks!

 

[Cicarm]

Hello y’all
I’m new and I’m from Canada. Hope to be introduced to some other fellow Canadian overlanders.

Welcome Sebastian! Sounds like you and the family have caught the overlanding bug! Be sure to post some pictures of the kitchen - It can't be that ugly. I look forward to meeting you on the trail some day!

Best regards, Rick
