Hello everyone!

I'm Manuel and I'm a landscape photographer from Switzerland.

I wouldn't quite call myself an Ovetlanding novice anymore, but I'm still far from being an expert. As the saying goes, you're always learning.

My overlanding vehicle is a 2013 Volkswagen T5 Transporter bus with a 4-Motion all-wheel drive incl. rear diff lock.

I'm currently rebuilding a few things on my vehicle, such as a rear bumper with Swingout spare wheel holder and a few other things.

In the photos you can see me traveling in the Balkans. I hope you like the pictures and look forward to a great exchange with like-minded people.

Have a great day everyone!
Manuel

I grew up in the offroad, camping, and outdoor world when I was young, and then life decided to take me in a very different direction. I am just getting back into being in the outdoors. I have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon that I am building up to hopefully take on some adventures. I live in the Sacramento area.

Hey Everyone,
Finally decided to join up after following overland bound on the socials for years.
Located in North Vancouver, BC and absolutely love to get out and explore the beauty of the entire west coast (Canada and the US).
Currently overlanding/off-roading/building my 2022 Colorado ZR2 Duramax. The thing is an absolute beast right from the showroom floor.
