I came across this post on the BBC Website (all pictures are from the BBC website too by the way) and wanted to share it on.
I would suggest you look at it on a computer as the images and site display the journey beautifully. An amazing story of Gunther and Christine and their journey around the world in same vehicle over 26 years! Now that has to be a record – Oh it is…
My favorite quote from the article was when asked why there was no social media site, no loud and amazing website to show what they had achieved, Gunther replied,
“he says, he and Christine travelled for their own enjoyment, not to shout about it to other people.”
Their journey in “Otto” is a proper story. A vehicle with minimal electronics, that has been taken all over the worlds surface and with pictures to tell, I can tell you it is worth the read.
I hope you enjoy reading about Gunther and Christine as they travelled the globe.

Are you Leaving it till later? Procrastination happens in most of our lives in various abundance and with some what of a stealth approach. It seems to sneak up and pounce on us, and before we know it we have been wrestling with it for days, weeks, and months. That warm fuzzy feeling that says in…
There comes a moment when it’s time to redesign the amazing things we create. To refocus on what is important and to improve on what we already have. That moment passed a few days ago and, though starting from the ground up, it is also a mental journey of rebuild what I know and want…
Focus in writing is what every writer needs to do. Focus on getting words on paper. Focus for success in whatever you do, is setting those goals and achieving them. This lesson has been a hard one to learn! It’s “Focus for Success”, Dummy! This has been the phrase that has been swimming around my head…
