So this was a big thing for us. Our first overlanding trip, with our kids.
We did a 6000 km trip trough Sweden & Norway
I made a "little" report on it in flemish & english:

We learned a lot during this first experience.
But the most important thing was that this kind of travelling is the way to go!
