Expedition Overland

Overlanding. From the Netherlands to Singapore. A 4WD car, a rooftop tent and two people crazy enough to try their luck on the road. In March 2024 we will drive from our hometown Utrecht in The Netherlands to Singapore. Approximately 40.000 kilometers, crossing the entire landmass of Eurasia. Through Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, China and eventually South East Asia. Overland, with our own Toyota 4Runner.

A question we often get is: ‘Why Singapore?’ Well, to be completely honest with you, that’s where the road ends. We don’t know if and when we will get there, but that’s part of the adventure. Marcel quit his job and Charelle did not take on any new projects. It’s an open-ended adventure. Will you travel with us?
