WHY we TRAVEL: finding family in CHILE & visiting magical CHILOÉ - Overlanding LatAm

👋🏻 Hey there, Luca and Giulia here, a German and an Italian driving through the entire American continent, all the way to Alaska!

This episode captures for us the very essence and core reason of our overloading journey: meeting incredible people along the way and creating unforgettable memories with them.

Watch as we are “adopted” by a warm and welcoming Chilean family we randomly meet on a beach. We spend quality time with them on their farm and visit their home before heading to the enchanting island of Chiloé. There, more magical moments and inspiring encounters unfold.

We meet fellow travelers and join our Aussie overlander friends to celebrate our very first Christmas in the Southern Hemisphere, all together on the dramatic cliffs of Chiloé, with a breathtaking view of hundreds of dolphins.

But the adventure doesn't stop there! After exploring the beauty of Chiloé, we return to mainland Chile for more overlander reunions in unique locations, before wrapping up the year with a Chilean-style celebration.

Join us on this journey of connection, exploration, and shared experiences that highlight the true spirit of travel.
