so common to convince ourselves to wait until we have the perfect vehicle and all the best equipment to take a journey... this family shows how far you can go with just the basics and the desire to explore! outstanding!

I enjoyed this tale of this family on an incredible journey. We just completed our first Long-Term Overland trip. 506 days driving from California to Panama and back. One learns so much traveling like this. We are hooked and we are already planning the next big trip.

I'm so happy you guys enjoyed your experience! And it's great to hear from the kids, their point of views being heard means a lot. I myself could never have done this. Too many sensitivities, food allergies and other issues just being a female would not be great for anyone else in that car. I would be annoyed and I would annoy everyone else.

I am really sorry to hear this family had to detour away from Pakistan. Pakistan has had to fight terrorism within its borders, and amazingly it has been pretty much eradicated now. Our Army has taken drastic actions against the terrorists and bandits the family feared, which makes it spectacularly safe now. I hope you people visit Pakistan someday and see how things have changed around here. May peace be with you.

These folks missed a beautiful country, when they skipped Pakistan. Spoken by a woman who travelled solo to Pakistan(it was my first time traveling out of North America, what an adventure!!) first in my mid 40s, and later returned to live there for a year. Beautiful and welcoming people, fascinating history and a diverse landscape. All that being said, I doubt Pakistan is going to become a travel destination any time soon, it's definitely not for everybody. Is it sometimes a challenging place? Absolutely. But, as with many places…the positives far outweigh the negatives.

The old car is more likely to break down, but possible to fix anywhere at all, with simple tools. A brand new vehicle - you'd be stuck if anything at all goes wrong. I passed someone in a 2018 Audi SUV the other day, something had gone wrong with the electrics and the vehicle had immobilised itself... no fixing that in Myanmar.
