We are Ewan, Carly and Jaxon Winter, a young Canadian/Australian family with insatiable wanderlust, a passion for the outdoors and exploring. We’ve spent our lives together exploring, the last 2 years have been spent travelling Australia full time in our Toyota Hilux “Bonnie” and our Caravan “Clyde”.
This website was started in 2013 and the idea was to travel blog a little about our wedding in Mexico, but mainly our 3 month honeymoon traveling around Australia in a 1989 Toyota 4Runner. The trip was incredible but as it turns out trying to blog while on your honeymoon is a TERRIBLE idea.
From there our lives back in Canada became very motorcycle centric and we started to write a bit about our two wheeled adventures. Fast forward to 2020 and we now have a young son so moto travel is off the table for a while, but as the #OverlandBound community will tell you “adventure is necessary” so we have now shifted our focus to truck based overland travel.
We have done a lot of vehicle dependant travelling together around North America and Australia over the years and have been lucky enough to have a number of great trucks and Jeeps. Our current Hilux build is one we’re super proud of and spent a lot of time researching and tweaking our build.
Bare with us as this space and our social media pages are in transition mode. We will be posting details of our rig build, gear and travels here. We love being on the road and meeting people so reach out and say hello and maybe we’ll see you down the road. social media.
