HUGE Overlanding Adventure on a TINY BUDGET // Adventure Experts
In this episode of our Adventure Experts Series, We’re sitting down with Steffen and Janin from @Syncro Travels to discuss what it is really like driving around the world on a budget, including some incredible stories from the road less traveled.
Syncro Travels’ plan was basically to have no plan, to just keep driving. They didn’t set out their famous Syncro for Living The Van Life, but somehow they made it work as they continued to drive from Europe to Asia over one and a half years.
The way they prepared their vehicle, and the adventurous manner in which they traveled is very similar to the Hasta Alaska project we did when driving the longest road in the world, the Pan-American Highway
Put the kettle on and join us for a great conversation. ☕
