The idea came in October 2004.
Roel writes: When preparing for our visit to our friend Hans in Tanzania, I came to look on the website of other overland travellers. It immediately was the thing to do with my life! I told Elizabeth what a great idea I suddenly had and she was also up for it!
We met in 2000 in Coober Pedy!! This is a little mining town in the middle of Australia. Lizzy asked for a lift in the great Holden Commodore driven by me at that moment. It turned out we wanted to go the same way and our first adventure was born!
We travelled through OZ by car and made it over to New Zealand and the USA by plane. We travelled together for about 4 months before Roel went back to Holland and Lizzy back to the UK. Roel stayed for about a year in Holland before joining Lizzy in the UK to make a future of our lives.
Roel, born 11/10/1975, and Lizzy, born 28/03/1974, have been living together since 2001.
We got married in Sligo, Ireland on 22nd May 2004 and are still very happy together. This trip will be our greatest adventure yet!
