Hi David,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Oh, when I read South Georgia, I first thought of a british overseas territory in the southern Atlantic Ocean. Little misunderstanding - hehe.

Enjoy your trips.

Greetings from across the pond,
Bjoern

Greetings from the UK,

I am newer to overlanding but not new to offroading. I joined to learn as much as I can and to improve my Jeep to fit our needs while we're touring Europe for 30 days. I am looking for any and all advice for what we could do better and to make our trip as successful as it can be with my wife and the dog. We have to make this last big trip in Europe the best it can be as we have to move back to the US in May.

Thanks for having us!
