Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hi all, I’m new to the site and fairly new to overlanding. I’m based out of Massachusetts,

I’ve got a 2018 Subaru Forester 6 speed, early stages of the build right now, I’ve got 15” method wheels with 235/75/15r cooper ATs, primitive skids, and I’m putting billstein b8 terra-sports struts in this weekend or next.

Besides cars, I enjoy being outside, mountain biking with bikes older than me, playing guitar, and 2 way radio associated hobby’s.

Thank you for letting me hang around! I'm happy to be here. I'm based out of Poplar Bluff, MO, and I’m currently driving a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) Overland. I’m looking forward to connecting with more folks in the Midwest and getting out on the trails!View attachment 299149

May I introduce myself as a rookie on this platform:
I'm Matthias from Kassel in the heart of Germany.

I'm riding on "Willy", an offroad-campervan Frankia Yukon K-Peak 6m, based on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.
Traveling is my passion and I join it since my early years, more than 40 years by now, most in Europa, Central-America, Indian-Ocean and South-East-Asia.
After nice and exciting Tours in Southern-Europa and Alps, my next dream is to drive to Thailand, maybe in spring 2027.
I'm curious about the things I can find here in this forum.
Maybe we talk together in time.

You can find me on instagram: freewillysspirit


Nice greetings
Matthias

Hi Matthias,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

I am one of the OB Ambassadors in Europe. @XC70_OVERLANDER is the nearest Local Expert to you. Please do not hesitate to contact him or me for questions regarding Overland Bound, and the App or information regarding overlanding.

Local information for any of the OB regions can also be found in the Overland Bound by region forum. Each region has its own sub-forum. Germany, for example, belongs to the region MidEurope. So, this link leads to the MidEurope subforum. Feel free to introduce yourself to your local area here.

Please take a look at the Rally Points for planned meetups. There you can filter by region. There are plenty of meetups planned for 2026 for Europe already and more to come.

We also do a virtual campfire once a month, there are always members from many regions of Europe. Next one is scheduled for end of May. This is a relaxed online talk about overlanding, trip plans, gear, everyday life and more with like-minded people. Just join us next time if you like.

If you have any other questions just ask, please. Always happy to help.

Safe travels,

Bjoern
