Just a fun little edit of some delightful tracks recently. #overlanding #expeditiontruck #tajikistan

We’re often asked how we cope with travelling with a dog and whether he’s happy. If he has space to run (chasing thrown stones), smells to sniff and the sofa to cuddle on, he’s happy. And if he has a river or lake to run through or swim in, then even more so! #photography #dogstr #overlandlife

Friends in the desert! One of the great joys of travelling is meeting other travellers. Each with their own stories and reasons for travelling. It took us a while to realise, but in the early days we kept meeting people…and getting on really well with them. Eventually we realised that people that travel all have similar mind sets, drives and desires, so it stands to reason we’d get on well. And continued meetings reaffirms this. The hardest part of meeting people? Saying goodbye to people you’ve only known briefly but have a connection with, knowing you may not see them again. #photography #overlanding #friendsontheroad

On the move today - the three vehicles were all heading off today in different directions, but we decided to convoy out through the high altitude desert together before heading our separate ways. Australian. Toyota Troopy in the lead, Canadian Toyota Tundra in the middle and us with Bebe following on behind. Made for quite a fun sight as we travelled down the track. #photography #aerial #overlanding #rigchoice

Last nights lunar eclipse blood moon, from 4300m up in Tajikistan. Just about 10mins before totality. The biggest downside? It was about -4degC so as soon as it hit totality, we all went to bed! #photography #eclipse #overlanding

Fresh baked bread at 4300m. With the birthday to celebrate yesterday for one of our travelling companions, I cracked out my (non-existent) baking skills and rustled up this Garlic and Rosemary bread for lunch. Certainly made for a unique setting for fresh bread. And yes, we then settled down for some lunar watching with the blood moon and eclipse giving us a great show… just a shame it was about -2 outside by the time it got to totality! #baking #overlandlife

It doesn’t happen very often, but today we’d decided to stay put with the friends we’ve been in convoy with for the last week or so. Then by chance we dropped a message to another couple who we knew were in Tajikistan and it turns out they were less than 100km away. So they came over to meet us! They’re Canadian and this is the 6th country we’ve met them in since early last year - Morocco, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Georgia and now Tajikistan. Quite amazing since we’ve taken totally different routes! Finally a Belgian guy on a bike came by and although he thought about continuing on, the spectre of fresh bread baking and a BBQ this evening proved too much of a draw. Also, he’s a baker by trade and since there’s a birthday in the group today, he’s baked a cake! So four overland vehicles at 4300m camped up on a high altitude plateau surrounded by mountains. Perfect. This is overlanding. The people you meet and stories you hear. #overlandlife #photography #tajikistan
