What No One Tells You (with Chris and Sara)

29. Driving Around The World with Dan Grec from 'The Road Chose Me'


Listen Later

Ever dreamed of leaving it all behind, hitting the road and exploring the world? Can you imagine the thrill of carrying a chimpanzee through a forest or poking lava with a stick? Our friend Dan from the  @TheRoadChoseMe  , a seasoned overlander, knows these experiences all too well. Trading his office job for a life on the road, he spent 15 years roaming the globe in his vehicle.

Dan's fascinating tales have inspired our own upcoming overlanding adventure, from the remote locations just waiting to be discovered to the kindness of strangers in foreign lands. We challenge common misconceptions and prove that adventure doesn't have to mean discomfort.
Navigating military checkpoints, crossing borders, and ensuring personal safety are all part of the journey and we address them head on with Dan. We dissect his experiences, ranging from terrifying encounters in the Congo to magical moments with local villagers in Africa. Strap in with us as we ride the highs and lows of overlanding, a roller coaster of experiences, where days range from an exhilarating 10 to a challenging zero.
