Panamericana: on a trip around the world with the expedition vehicle
From Alaska to Patagonia – a dream come true! The idea has been in our heads for a long time. During our first three-year journey, we caught fire. Diving instructor in the Philippines, backpacker in Asia and by Toyota Landcruiser around Australia. It was a formative and inspiring period of our life. Now we do it for the second time!
For the adventure Panamericana you need the right vehicle. The question of the right type of vehicle takes a lot of time. Of all the criteria, three are decisive for us: all-wheel drive, load capacity and self-sufficiency. In this way, a fire truck is transformed into a rolling home on four wheels. Sandro puts a lot of heart and soul into planning and building until our dream mobile is ready – Whaly. Affectionately named after our favorite underwater animal, the whale shark, and fitting for the gray giant.
In the middle of the Corona Pandemic we start our adventure. Patiently we explore Europe and wait for Canada’s border to open. After six months, every glimmer of hope is extinguished. Despite a terrific time in France and Spain – we had other goals. Spontaneously we decide to ship to Mexico. The only country that welcomed tourists even during the pandemic. Instead of an east-west crossing of Canada, a south-north-south route awaits us. We fall in love with Mexico, cross the USA and Canada before arriving at the northernmost point of our journey. Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Ocean. The crowning glory is the incredible wilderness adventure of Alaska. After the northern hemisphere we are now looking forward to the southern hemisphere.
