No Time For Procrastination: the reason why we started traveling

  • This is for the dreamers, adventurers and overlanders....
    We learned it the hard way, you don't always have the time to procrastinate on your dreams.
    And we had so many doubts starting our dream of traveling the world with our dog:
    - Is it even possible with a dog?
    - Can we make it work financially?
    - Do we even like living out of a car?
    For every reason we could do it, we thought of something else why we shouldn't. But at the end, when we had the chance, we did it: we bought an old Land Rover Defender.
    And after a year combining travels and coming back home for work we learned a lot, not only the positives. But our dream grew further and further.
    Can we take on the even bigger hurdles to start our new dream?
    Can we stop procrastinating on our dream?

      @@emmanuel5161 You are right! We are trying to minimize it as much as possible. A factor that should not be forgotten is that in order to do such a trip we actually don't own anything major and consume as minimum as possible. As you can see in our videos we try to repair things and maximize the life of our gear. But yeah , we keep an eye on it. The best way of travel based on the environmental footprint is either cycling or on foot.

    We almost called off our trip around Australia as my dad died very unexpected. We were in the middle of the build of our truck. We went away and did 5 years of overlanding, overland travel. It will make you a strong person for better. Love or liefs Rolanda van Amsterdam

    In fields of dreams, Lewie and the Rover stand,
    Hand in hand, with dreams so grand.
    Their faithful hound, a heart so true,
    In every step, he journeys too.
    Through whispered winds and starlit skies,
    They chase their dreams, with hopeful eyes.
    With paws that patter, tails that wag,
    Their journey's shared, no need to lag.
    Through mountains tall and valleys low,
    They'll find their way, where dreams may grow.
    For Lewie, Rover, and their faithful friend,
    The journey's sweeter when shared in the end.
    And in this tale of dreams and kin,
    Let friends and laughter also spin.
    For dreams are richer, brighter, when,
    They're woven with the hearts of friends.

While it does consume a significant amount of diesel, they always make sure to have extra on hand. It's truly a sight to behold. Nothing stands in their way as they pursue their objectives. I'm a big fan, how about you?"

    Great philosophy and I felt your hearts talking unhindered by how you are told to live and feel. Life will always throw you obstacles to test you. Yet life is not a rehearsal, this is it. One can never find the true meaning of life until one finds themselves first. You have found yourselves. Run with it! 🙏🏻❤️

    I would so much want to end procrastinating. Problem is how to pay for traveling. If I had a solution I‘d be gone tomorrow morning 4‘o clock no later. But at the moment, all we can do is build our car (a Mog) and wait, save, pay money into the rental system for the time after our return.

      @@lewieandtherover Yes we bought a very rusty and crusty ex- hay- transporter, U1650 from Switzerland. Restored it / first two years, and starting to build a detacheable cabin this winter from steel (chassis) and sandwich (foam, GRP) material… for still some years to come. Bit frustrating cause the dream is always there, you build the car to go, but see what happens around and think, time is running out (being mid-50s).
