  • International land border crossings can make even the most seasoned overlander nervous.
    There is a very good reason for this, they can be long, frustrating, unpredictable and sometimes even a little bit scary.
    In this video we talk you through how we plan and tackle international land border crossings.
    We've done close to 50 over the years and reckon we've got a good system and hope to share some useful information.
    Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
    In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.

    Such a great video! You answered a lot of questions I had. It always freaked me out when I saw people driving by the long lines to get closer to the front at crossings, glad to hear there are valid reasons for it. Thank you two for all you do to show ya the world.

    Funny video - I am a Customs adviser, who has worked in 10 different countries over the last 18 years (including Eastern European border crossing points) I travel in my LD 110 across borders - it was fun listening to the preparation you go through before you travel. If you pass through East Timor on your way home give me a shout...

    Hi
    Super advises completely agree on everything except for having a clean and well-organized car. I was traveling from France to Mongolia through central Asia and Iran with a sprinter and a motorbike inside (and even a motor paraglider). We had a different technique named "Totor bordel" dirty socks and dustbin in front of the door! The general idea, discourage the custom guard, making him thinking if he is really ready to spend an all day long to check all the car without being sure to find something illegal and to be able to ask money for it. We had just one border (Tajikistan Uzbekistan) where we had to put off the motorbike. But for sure money passport and valuable staff on us, and for you, a good idea of where is what and all-time stay at less than 50cm of the customs officer who is checking your car.
    By the way, thanks guy super videos
