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
Greetings Manuel, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello all! My husband and I live in Kansas. We own and 2016 4runner and have been building it up over the last several years and using it to adventure and enjoy the outdoors. I love the helpful community here on OB and am looking forward to hopefully meeting new people and gathering/sharing experiences!!
Greetings Denielle, welcome to Overland Bound!

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.
WELCOME FELLOW JEEPER

Name: Adam
Location: Bergen County, NJ
Rig: 2002 Dodge Ram 1500, Stock. No big plans on mods, but who knows what the future may hold
Experience: None. My family loves to go camping, hiking and enjoy the great outdoors. I think Overlanding is a natural extension of that. I don't see us doing anything crazy, but I would love to explore areas that we maybe otherwise wouldn't get to explore or experience.

I joined because I stumbled upon a New Jersey specific trail that my family and I are very interested in trying out. I think this may be a great introduction into overlanding while combining it with some camping.

My name is Casey I'm looking to make new friends I'm from California. I used to drive a 1998 Toyota 4Runner SR5 and now I drive a 06 expedition sport Trac. I used to be a weekend warrior for off-roading and now I daily drive it. I'm off reading five six times a week because of my job allows me to do so. I quit my tech job working on websites and applications and marketing and sales. To do a job so I can get closer to off-roading so now all my jobs consist of things that allow me to off-road more which I'm able to off-road 7 days a week now. I'm a full-time off-roader I'm part-time at work
