    so common to convince ourselves to wait until we have the perfect vehicle and all the best equipment to take a journey... this family shows how far you can go with just the basics and the desire to explore! outstanding!

    Wonderful story. Brought back many memories because I did an Land Rover overland in 1966. Now terribly sad at what has happened to the Middle East. Lovely people and great mechanics!

    The guys who inspired you to do this trip, are doing it again, 64 years later, and with the original Landy too! Check out 'The Last Overland'. They set off in 10 hours from Singapore!

    Amazing how you guys managed the trip without vicious quarrels owing to the very tight confinement. Must have been a great bonding experience. Cheers!

    I enjoyed this tale of this family on an incredible journey. We just completed our first Long-Term Overland trip. 506 days driving from California to Panama and back. One learns so much traveling like this. We are hooked and we are already planning the next big trip.

      Wow California to Panama must have been pretty amazing!! I'm sure you have many crazy stories to tell :) Thanks for checking out the video and happy future travels!

      This was a Land Rover Series I I think - the original LR which after the Series III got rebadged as the Defender. So it is a very old car indeed.

    I'm so happy you guys enjoyed your experience! And it's great to hear from the kids, their point of views being heard means a lot. I myself could never have done this. Too many sensitivities, food allergies and other issues just being a female would not be great for anyone else in that car. I would be annoyed and I would annoy everyone else.

      Exploring Alternatives I'm living it, just working towards a van, been on the road doing my research, so when I get better situated my branch out area will grow. Right now I cover an area video logged over 100's thousands of square miles. All Van island , Fraser Valley , BC interior , PG , Hwy's 1. 3. 5. 7. Is Hwy, and so on. Some day up deep north explore into my choice of research.

    These folks missed a beautiful country, when they skipped Pakistan.
    Spoken by a woman who travelled solo to Pakistan(it was my first time traveling out of North America, what an adventure!!) first in my mid 40s, and later returned to live there for a year.
    Beautiful and welcoming people, fascinating history and a diverse landscape.
    All that being said, I doubt Pakistan is going to become a travel destination any time soon, it's definitely not for everybody. Is it sometimes a challenging place? Absolutely. But, as with many places…the positives far outweigh the negatives.

    • @sameerfair
      @sameerfair 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Given the hype in the media your precaution was absolutely justified. But hope you visit Pakistan someday, and catch up on what you missed. Hope you arrive with an empty stomach. You wont regret it. :) May peace be with you.

    I am really sorry to hear this family had to detour away from Pakistan. Pakistan has had to fight terrorism within its borders, and amazingly it has been pretty much eradicated now. Our Army has taken drastic actions against the terrorists and bandits the family feared, which makes it spectacularly safe now. I hope you people visit Pakistan someday and see how things have changed around here. May peace be with you.

      The old car is more likely to break down, but possible to fix anywhere at all, with simple tools. A brand new vehicle - you'd be stuck if anything at all goes wrong. I passed someone in a 2018 Audi SUV the other day, something had gone wrong with the electrics and the vehicle had immobilised itself... no fixing that in Myanmar.
