ANTIGUA GUATEMALA VOLCANO HIKE (we roast marshmallows on the top of this active volcano)
Hiked up an active volcano and in this video we take you with us!
Hope you enjoy! Open to any questions. ~ Eric...
Our overlanding journey around the world continues. We are in Antigua, Guatemala now and we got here in time for Semana Santa (Holy Week) and what they do here is incredible! There are rugs made out of sawdust that massive processionals walk over and destroy. This UNESCO World Heritage City does...
A hand-cranked ferry took our Jeep Gladiator across a river to some ancient Mayan ruins in Belize in this next installment of our global overland journey.
Hope you enjoy. Let us know if any questions come up. ~ Eric

Just wanted to thank everyone for the spirited discussion. This is my last day of reliable internet for possibly a few days. Need to head out up the Hummingbird Highway tomorrow. So my family and I will essentially be out in the boonies of Belize.
For the record I'd share a campfire with...
This is a really interesting and insightful comment to me. Appreciate you putting it out there Brian.
I would agree that the XO folks are a genuine and good group of people. They have been kind and selfless to Brittany and I as we've started our own overland journey with no expectation of...
Hello Donald, thanks for chiming in. We are in full agreement that definitions are important.
What you do sounds like a lot of fun and if I were back home in the USA I'd love to join you on one of those 4-6 week journeys.
Looks like you've been on this platform since darn near the beginning...
Hi Bruce,
Appreciate you chiming in. There's been some good discussion going on. I think that it is important that we talk about this article by XO as a community. Appreciate you quoting my definition from my own article in which I wrote:
"Modern Day Overlanding: Vehicle-based, self-reliant...
Phoenix is a great town and I have friends in the area. But I'm in Belize, how about you come down here instead? It's the trip of a lifetime and I've been to Phoenix many times, but never been down here till now. If it takes you more than a week to get here I'll be in Guatemala. And that's not...
Hi Timothy,
First let me just say that I appreciate your response and I can clearly "see" your heart and passion for inclusivity in your post. There is some of what you said that I fully agree with and some that I fully disagree with. My response to you is thoughtful and not intended to spark...
Don't think that is their heart at all. I genuinely believe they feel it is important to define overlanding so that it has meaning beyond a marketing tool. Overland Journal has expressed the same concerns. I think that folks in the community are feeling like they are not being inclusionary but I...
Hi Stephen, thanks for your service as a first responder. How is retired life? Sounds like you got a nice set-up with that 4xE and Turtleback. We'll be heading into Guatemala next week and are really looking forward to it. But right now trying to stay present in Belize. Appreciate your comment...
We are in Southern Belize! While here we drove to the southernmost point we could possibly drive in Belize (Punta Gorda) and visited a Mayan Chocolate Farm where a family who has been producing chocolate the traditional way for generations showed us how they did it.
Also shared about a...
I don't know Andrew personally, but I appreciate his work in the space. Dan I do know and he's a great guy and has been really kind and helpful to me and my family as we've prepared for our own journey that we're on.
As far as XO. Just like everyone else, there is a lot of history behind the...
Chris,
If setting the bar is fine, and it is set, then regardless of where you stand there is a way to understand the term. I hear what you are saying and I don't think their intention or heart is to be elitist. I really don't. I think there is a push (and it came far too late) from the...
