Overland Journal Day 232-233: We drove from the Netherlands to Singapore!
We roll into Singapore in disbelief. This is it. The final stop. The dot at the end of the line we’ve been tracing across the map for months. And somehow… it still doesn’t feel real. We’re euphoric, of course. We’ve actually done it. Driven all the way from the Netherlands to Singapore in our Toyota 4Runner, overland, across 22 countries. That’s wild. And yet, there’s this strange echo…

Overland Journal Day 204-231: Road Trip Malaysia
After a mess of paperwork at the border, we finally roll into Malaysia. In Kuala Lumpur we pick up a friend and set off on a 2-week road trip through the country’s highlights: jungle cruises in Taman Negara, misty hikes in tea plantations of the Cameron Highlands, street food and colonial old-town vibes in Georgetown, and scooter rides along Langkawi’s tropical coastline. When our friend flies home, we…

Overland Journal Day 186-203: Island Hopping in Southern Thailand (Koh Phangan, Koh Tao & Koh Lanta)

We dive into Bangkok life while the 4Runner gets an upgrade, head north into monsoon rains for waterfalls and night safaris in Khao Yai National Park, and explore ancient, crowd-free temples in Ayutthaya. But after days of rain,…

Overland Journal Day 159-172: Cambodia Road Trip to Phnom Penh, Koh Rong & Angkor Wat
We leave behind what’s said to be the most corrupt border crossing in Asia and roll into Cambodia. At this point, we’ve been on the road for five months and have covered 27,000 kilometers. We dive headfirst into the comforts of city life in Phnom Penh, soak up the easygoing island vibe on Koh Rong, and – maybe the biggest milestone yet – we drive our own car…
