Where are we now?
We are officially planning our next trip on t’ road!
After two years of travelling around Europe and western Asia in 2023 and 2024, we’re now thinking of driving across the width of Canada, through the USA, and on through all of the Central American countries all the way to Panama and the border with South America!
What countries will the route pass through?
Our route travels from eastern Canada, across the country’s width to Vancouver, before heading southwards through the USA, Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama.
The overland journey ends in Panama due to the Darien Gap – an impassable jungle border between Panama and Colombia.
Our route will no doubt change as we travel on our journey.
Where have we been so far?
On our last road trip across Europe in 2024, we had to wait a long time to recover some Schengen days, as we’d used our full quota. The same thing happened on our road trip in 2023.
To date, we’ve travelled over 44,000 miles (70,000km)! That’s approaching twice the distance around the world!
This is a map of all of the countries on the continent of Europe that we’ve now visited and stayed over in. The only countries that we’ve yet to visit are Azerbaijan & Iceland.
Where to next?
Next, we’re still in the planning stage. We’re thinking that we may be able to drive overland to the Stans (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgystan), before heading over to Mongolia, South Korea and Japan; although obtaining visas is proving to be troublesome, and the ongoing restriction on entering Azerbaijan by vehicle is still in place.
We’re also hopefully going to travel through north Africa, across sub-saharan Africa, down the west coast of the continent to South Africa. Once our visas and letters of invitation have been authorised, we’ll post the route from Europe through Africa and the corresponding maps.
If you’re interested in what you see and you’re on the route, reach out and let us know! And if you’d like to know more, contact us – we’d be happy to chat!
