What we Learned - Where to Begin (Ep.47)

A one-stop series for all things Baja. A how to from Planning to Basics, Safety and Wild camping. We spent 2 months overloading the Baja Peninsula covering as many dirt roads as possible that a 4x4 sprinter van could safely complete.

We drive a Revel 4x4 Diesel so we cover areas our vehicle can do as well as some easier spots - and some we couldn't.

Welcome to our Chanel!
Who are we?
We are an Adventure travel and Overland couple.

What do we do?
We travel long distances in our 4x4 Sprinter van to find remote trails and off-grid camp sites with no crowds. We choose our trails or create our own routes to find the secret spots and hidden gems that are off the beaten path.

Why do we do it?
We love the independence of it. We love the end goal of getting someplace new and undiscovered. We love the journey. It can be exciting and even scary at times not knowing what a dirt road unfolds for a van to tackle.
What we love most is traveling with our Dog Carlos; a Swiss Shepherd. He’s a goof.

What is Adventure Travel?

What is Overlanding?
It’s a form of self-reliant vehicle based adventure travel to remote destinations, where the journey itself is the primary focus, often involving extended camping and exploration of diverse terrains.
