Overland Traveller is dedicated to finding the world’s most astounding journeys.
That means experiencing every kind of transport imaginable, embracing the hardships and highs that go hand-in-hand with independent travel and exploring the world thoroughly, including the bits others leave out.
It may be a cliché, but we really do reckon the journey is as important as the destination.

Brazil to Canada Overland
Overland Traveller is currently undertaking one of the world's most epic overland journeys.
We like to think of it as the Pan-American Highway, with twists. From October 2009 to June 2010, OT will travel through Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Belize and Mexico, follow the USA's Pacific Coast Highway to Seattle and then sail to British Columbia, Canada. All going to plan, OT will then head east across Canada by train to finish, wiser, poorer, battered and broken.
Why the Americas? Because it’s one of the longest overland journeys you can do! Overland Traveller has already travelled from Holland to Singapore overland, which is about as far as you can travel, latitudinally speaking, and this longitudinal epic was the obvious next adventure.
