We are Jen, James and Henry the Defender. In 2021 we embarked on the adventure of our lives, travelling the world with no timetable, no map and no rush. Our plan is to simply experience whatever life wants to throw at us, as remote and wild as we can find, and see what each day brings.
Henry is our trusted steed and most importantly our home. He took a year and a half to convert from a station wagon to a fully-equipped overland camper and everything we own is tucked inside or bolted to the outside!
We carry a satellite tracker which pings our location to a map once a day, tracking our route across the world. Follow our adventures through our blog, photos and the map.

We were to spend two weeks in Morocco, a country we have loved in the past and which has not failed to live up to expectations again.

We´ve done it!! Woo hoo! We´ve even started to look different! But to back track just a little…. We arrived at the port in Sete nearly 8 hours early as we knew there were a lot of obstacles to try and sort out before we were allowed to board. However, remarkably, we had jumped through … Continue reading Arrival into Africa!
After leaving Nimes we carried on with our mission to see the most beautiful parts of the French landscape that we could find and continued through the extensive list of suggestions provided by Phil. Two gorges were well worth the visit, very different but both stunning. Gorges de l´Ardeche and Gorges du Tarn….. Whilst the … Continue reading A Final Farewell to Europe
