If you are watching this video you know we survived, at least until editing and uploading. But let us tell you this, first year overlanders with basically no skills driving through colorful villages, sharp mountain egdes and loose sand dunes is guaranteed an adventure. Sit back and enjoy the show! THIS is the Rover without Lewie, destination: MOROCCO.

If you want to know why we didn’t take Lewie with us this time watch the first minute of the video, we’ll tell you and show you where he was.

We would like to thank ‪@euro4x4parts‬ for our partnership and the excellent service of sending our recovery gear the day before we left.

Next to that we also want to do a big shout out to our partners in crime (@lostwithlarry on instagram). Their story is worth following: a medical doctor and pediatric nurse overlanding from the Netherlands to Uganda. They are following their dream and starting a new life: working in a hospital in Uganda.

And to all other overlanders and adventurers we met along the way,
‪@76Overland‬ for dune driving lessons and Mark from Amazigh Overland for organizing the pizza party:

THANK YOU

  • After watching this, I said to my wife, "do you fancy taking a boat to Morocco next year?" (We live in N. Spain) "YES" was the reply! Thank you for your beautifully made video.

    I’m so glad to have found this video and your channel! It’s so much fun to see two young people exploring the world together; it reminded me of my youth, seemed so long ago, with the love of my life (she is no longer with us) whom I miss very much! Thank you for the journey and the wonderful memories and music; I really like your minimalist approach to narration and the flow of your voice, so soothing young lady!

    Just incredible. What a truly epic journey. Congratulations on your engagement, I’m certain you’ll be very happy together. It was wonderful to see Lewie looking so happy! He just loved seeing his friends.
  • Just got back from the third time Morocco, it's so addicting. Doing it with a Land Rover makes it even more special 🙂 Everything you are telling in the voice-over is so true! Except for the sweetness of Moroccan tea, you can ask it with no, or less sugar and they will happily provide you!
