A Family of 4 Overlanding (camping) Around the World

We are a Dutch family of four, with a love for travel, the great outdoors, and offroading. We sold our house and company for an adventure around the world in our Expedition Truck, Manfred, with no end date in sight. 

Our initial plan was to fly to Halifax, Canada on the 30th of April this year. Flight tickets were bought, our bags were packed, and the boat for Manfred was booked. 

Manfred would have been shipped to Halifax and from there on we were planning to drive to Alaska to spend the summer there. After that, we wanted to make our way south to discover Canada and the rest of the lower 48. However, Covid-19 threw us a curveball…

Manfred and the Fam: Fleur, Julie, Given, and Michael van der Burg

Things could no longer go according to plan, and we had to come up with a new idea quickly, as we already sold our home in The Netherlands. Our parents offered us to stay in one of their homes until things would ease out. We decided to decline this very kind offer as our nomad hearts (and Manfred!) were calling for us. 

We started traveling in The Netherlands in April until the borders opened, and when they did we began exploring the rest of Europe with our truck.
