Welcome

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.

Hi everyone! I am Kristine, and I have a 2018 JKU. I am located in LA, and I am currently a college student. I am an outdoor enthusiast , and started my overland experience during the pandemic. I fell in love with just being with my jeep in the middle of nowhere and smell the roses. I used to do tent camping and now I am building my own kitchen and sleeping platform inside my jeep!

[Patriot05]

Location: West Harrison, Indiana... Timberview Acres
Current Vehicle: 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited
Overland Experience: Beginner
Overlanding Interest: Well, that can be a long detailed story but in short, I love the outdoors. I am very mechanically inclined, I can fix about anything, or build about anything, so this overlanding adventure type of hobby if you will, made sense to me at my young age of 54. I feel like I got a little sidetracked in life with being so focused on work and I want to change all of that. I started watching you YouTubers like Lifestyle Overland, Expedition Overland etc etc and have been incredibly encouraged while watching that content. I wish I could quit my job, pack up the family, and go......:) For, one trip at a time!
