Overlanders:
The following are overlanders whom we have either met or heard of on our travels and whose sites/contacts might be of interest.
Argentina:
Appropriately at the top. We've met some pretty amazing people on our trip but these guys are standouts! Candelaria and Herman Zapp have been travelling for over 12 years in a vintage 1928 American Rolls Royce. Their 4 kids (oldest 9, youngest 3 years ) were all born on the trip..The youngest Wallaby was (of course!) born down under at Newport Beach near our house amazingly enough! Their book "Spark your dream" is available via Amazon. Incredible!
