We drove to see the highest point on the entire planet. Spoiler alert…it isn’t Mount Everest.


We also take you to the charming town of Baños for the world famous thermal pools that are there.


And our electrical system on our Jeep Gladiator has a major failure. All part of the journey as we continue our overlanding drive around the world.

Truly appreciate it. We are currently releasing our Ecuador content although we have made it to Peru and our rig is currently in Lima, Peru. But we have flown back to the states to visit family and friends for 3 months and do Christmas with family. It is refreshing to be back for a short stint. We're currently in the Disney World area for the next 3 weeks. So you can imagine that Caspian is really excited. We just got here today. ~ Eric

People often tell us, "You are living my dream! I can't believe you get to overland around the world full-time!" I think people often think that we are on some sort of permanent vacation, and this couldn't be further from the truth. This is just life lived a different way than most. And overall it is an incredible journey.

But this type of journey is not without its challenges. Sometimes the challenges presented are compounded greatly by the distance from "home."

This video is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. This BY FAR is the hardest video I've ever had to edit or publish. The emotions are real and raw in this one. I hope you get a chance to watch this one and reflect on what it means to deal with this kind of stuff from a continent away.

I'm here for the questions. ~ Eric

This is part 2 of our time in Cuenca. It was a difficult time with my mother having just passed away. I had left Brittany and Caspian alone in Ecuador, and so this video is mostly from her perspective. Hope you enjoy. Let me know if you have any questions. Cuenca is an incredible city!

Tensions got a little heated as we crossed into Peru at an extremely remote border crossing. Hope you enjoy the video. This is us. We're not always put together.



Here for the questions.

What is with the reflective tape strips on the front end? You do that out of your own concern for safety or did one of the countries you travel required it?

I talk about this around minute 5:45 of this video. But essentially it is required by Peru of passenger vehicles. It is not required of foreign plated vehicles like ours which are on at temporary import permit, but if you are a passenger vehicle and you don't have it on there, it attracts the police attention to your vehicle. So for $9 of tape we just decided to put it on there. Great question. ~ Eric

Our journey around the world continues! This time we head to the 5th tallest waterfall in the entire world and into Chachapoyas an historical city founded in 1538. Available for any questions from the community. Hit me up. ~ Eric

World’s Most Dangerous Roads: Peru Highway 8B.


In this episode we take you with us on an incredible journey through the Andes mountains. This is a one lane, two way road that soars to 14,000 feet where our tires are inches away from dizzying heights.


We are in Peru and continuing our overlanding journey around the world.


Available for any questions!

In this video we do deep inside a 3000 year old underground temple in the Andes of Peru!

These types of experiences make this journey amazing. We couldn't believe how incredible this was. Definitely more than we expected.

Open to any questions.

We're leaving our Jeep Gladiator in Peru.

Such a strange feeling to walk away from your home and leave it in a foreign country. But we had to do it. All covered in this video.

Any questions about the process, please let us know.

Too bad you can't get frequent flier miles for driving.
