Hello everyone, I am Swamy and i am super excited about joining the Overland Bound family and making my first post.
I live in Los Angeles (Santa Monica area).

I drive a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek which is 99% stock, except for upgraded headlights.
I am a beginner overlander with some experience over technical terrain and a lot of overnighters in national forests alone.

Looking forward to making new friends and a lot of more overland adventures.
