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.

Be organised and your creativity can flow freely. I have often told friends and family about Evernote and then tried to explain how you can best use it for your own personal life. So I have made tutorials to help point them and perhaps you in the right direction.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. H. Jackson Brown Jr. (P.S. I Love You) Our brains thrive on exploration. The difference of a situation, the excitement of a new experience. It is mind-blowing to think of all the…
Any trip begins with the first 324kms! South Africa is Big, their holes are big, the food is big and the animals are big, but nothing makes it feel so much bigger than when you drive between different points. I set off on Thursday afternoon for a trip to the Orange Free state, the farming…
