Overlanding North America

Overlanding in North America

We traveled full-time in North America from February 2014 to November 2022, when we shipped our Jeep Gladiator to South America. Overlanding through our home continent allowed us to gain the confidence and skills we needed to go farther afield.

To quickly drill down to the geographic area that’s most interesting to you, you can visit our pages about overlanding through:

  • Interior Mexico (also called mainland Mexico)
  • Baja
  • Central America

Our most popular travel articles right now are all Mexico-related: visiting Africam self-drive safari in Puebla, the pyramids of Teotihuacan, the popular beach town of Los Barriles in Baja, and the hot springs outside San Miguel de Allende.

Our most-read article related to overlanding in the United States is all about spectacular Drummond Island, off the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Our Master Map is the best way to access our travel articles, videos, and Instagram posts based on the areas that interest you most.

Note: since 2014, we’ve spent at least one night in all Lower 48 United States (our son Caspian marked this milestone when he was four years old). Though we lived in an RV at first, our travel logs from that time are full of destinations that would likely be of interest to you as an overlander. You can browse those articles from our RV Travel category.
