In this episode, I am honoured to be joined by one of the most imaginative and daring adventurers of our time: Dylan Wickrama.

Dylan is know for his globe-spanning motorcycle odyssey, including a legendary crossing of the Darién Gap on a self-built raft powered by his bike. He then embraced a vanlife existence, travelling slowly and purposefully. And now, he's preparing to embark on a new, audacious journey: a Fiat Panda 4x4 wor...

Anton Poplett is back on the show — humanitarian, Land Rover enthusiast, conservationist, and open-fire cook. Our friendship has long been built on a shared passion for Land Rovers and the adventures they enable. But whether you drive a Defender, a Toyota, or something entirely different, one truth remains: we rely on our vehicles to take us into the wild and bring us home again.

In this episode, we talk...

Not everybody in Europe has heard of Big Agnes, the outdoor specialist whose products span tents, sleeping bags and pads, furniture, backpacks, clothing and accessories.

Based in Steamboat Springs, deep in Colorado’s Mount Zirkel Wilderness, the company takes...

The intrepid explorer Mikael Strandberg has countless expeditions behind him. In recent years, he’s often travelled with his two daughters. Right now, they’re preparing for their next foot march into the Tien Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan.

We cover a lot in this conversation—so much that I think we’d have gone on endlessly if technology hadn’t cut us short. A sudden power cut in Sweden ended things mid-se...

The summer break is over and we’re back!

We’ve been travelling, working on the cars, writing and recording … which means we’ve got a ton of new stories lined up for you over the next few months. I must say, it feels really good to have all the ducks in a row.

But now, let’s jump into the latest episode of the @overlandeurope podcast.

Today’s guest sums up her philosophy in one...

Anton Poplett has to rely on being able to run and charge his equipment when he's deep in the bush. In this day and age, it shouldn't be too difficult, but he's had his fair share of problems along the way.

Here are some of the tips and facts Anton refers to during our talk:

Remember your power draw in summer will differ from winter. In summer it’s possible the fridges will run for longer hours keeping temperature. In...

I think it’s fair to say that my guest today is indirectly connected to the overlanding world … but intimately involved with some of the vehicles we love and rely upon when we're out and about exploring the world.

He runs a thriving restoration business, manages a popular YouTube channel and, when he’s not wielding his tools, isn’t impartial to British ale or a gin and tonic.

My guest’s nam...

Dr. Kate Leeming isn’t just an accomplished explorer; she’s also a passionate advocate for sustainability and education.

Stephan Fischer has just one goal in life: Live life to the fullest and unlock the adventure and freedom that still exists in the great, remote and beautiful land of Australia.

In this episode we talk about Australia as an overlander's paradise and learn about what to take into account when you embark on an adventure in one of the largest and least populated areas of the world.

Make sure you don't miss any of Stephan's videos by fo...
