Cost of Overlanding Through the Interior of Mexico

June 30, 2019 by Brittany Highland 2 Comments

Cost of Overlanding Through Interior of Mexico

Credit: @chepocdt I've hesitated to write this article because budgeting is based on so many variables and is highly personal (and therefore subjective). But since I ultimately decided to share our experience of how much it costs to overland through Mexico, I'll include the disclaimers and leave you to draw the conclusions that apply to you. I'm driven by the fact I … [Read more...]

Dipping Into Hot Springs Near San Miguel de Allende

Visiting Interior Mexico Hot Springs

On our way to visit the "Sistine Chapel of Mexico," in the little town of Atotonilco, our taxi driver pointed out the hot springs in the area. He said that, of the various spa businesses built around the hot springs, Escondido Place was the nicest. We didn't think too much about it because #twoyearold. But fast-forward a few days, and I managed to find a local babysitter … [Read more...]

Visiting Africam in Puebla

That time a lioness jumped on an old Jeep Caspian was driving at Africam in Puebla, Mexico Eric spent part of his childhood in Puebla, where we've spent the past 19 days. In fact, it was here that he learned the Spanish language before he learned English. One of his fond childhood memories is of a place called Africam. At Africam, just outside the city of Puebla, you can … [Read more...]

The Best Hotel in Bernal, Mexico: El Cantar del Viento

February 5, 2019 by Brittany Highland 2 Comments

Best Hotel in Bernal Mexico

We'd spent three days off-roading through dust and rivers, up and down mountains. We'd put in two nights of rooftop tent camping. At the end of our journey, we pulled into the small town of Bernal, which rests in the shadow of one of the tallest monoliths in the world. When I stepped into a room at El Cantar del Viento and saw the imposing silhouette of Peña de Bernal out … [Read more...]

Overlanding the Mountains of Sierra Gorda With Overland Bound Friends

January 29, 2019 by Brittany Highland 7 Comments

Jeepsies Overlanding Sierra Gorda

We were breaking every overlanding rule we set for ourselves. It was pitch black as we tentatively pointed our Jeep's nose down 45-degree mountain switchbacks. There was no shoulder. There were no barriers to keep us from the drop into the valley far below. "You know I don't scare easily," I told Eric, remembering the thrill of Going to the Sun Road in Glacier National Park … [Read more...]

Instagram post 2191532810225689181_3091462540 So stoked to have the @midlandusa MXT400 GMRS radio installed in our Jeep! 
Known commonly as the MicroMobile, this GMRS has 40 watts of broadcasting power. Check this out... Midland has published these numbers: 
Obstructed range is 5-10 miles
Partial obstruction is 15-20 miles 
No obstruction up to 65 miles! 
We’ve still got our CB in the rig, and our satellite comms, but we use GMRS more than anything on our daily travels. So with this new two-way radio, a whole new world is opened up to us. 
Shout out to my good friend Paul Jones for taking time out of his day to install this! 
Thank you to the team at Midland for getting behind our fulltime travel lifestyle. We’re wrapping up our 6th year and getting ready to start our seventh with no plans of stopping.

Instagram post 2191176467123957134_3091462540 Today is #LittleNomad’s 3rd birthday. This little guy of ours has been a Jeeper and fulltime traveler since birth. He has been to 3 countries and over 35 US States. He’s also been to over 60 National Park Service Units. Not bad for a 3 year old ❤️ #caspiantheodore #jeepsies #fulltimetravel #overland #overlanding #overlander #nationalparks #nationalparkgeek #nationalparkservice
Instagram post 2190894582120578218_3091462540 How do you KNOW when you have an epic Jeep buddy? 
When he does acrobatics in your rig to try and diagnose an issue on his off day and works late into the night until the job is finished and done right. 
Thank you Paul Jones for being a stand up guy, a veteran, and an amazing Jeep friend!

Instagram post 2185732704683497042_3091462540 Wow, we're really humbled. ❤️ When we posted earlier that we were opening up a 2-week Baja California 🇲🇽 overland trip that folks could sign up to go on with us we never expected these results. 
We had 40 rigs sign up before we had to shut down accepting applications. We currently have 12 more rigs in the queue wanting to get into our private group that is currently discussing the trip. 😬

We are limiting the actual run to 10 rigs and then creating a standby list for those that have expressed interest. 👍

Seriously no idea that there would be this much interest in going to Mexico. We figured on 3-5 rigs! Thanks all for wanting to hang with us. As fulltime travelers, it's great to have a community everywhere we go. 🌎

Maybe we'll have to do some trips like this in the United States next year where we just open up an overlanding trip for a weekend. We'd love to meet as many of you as we can. We really enjoy hanging out with like-minded adventurers. What do you think, would you be interested ❓

Let us know. ~ Eric, Brittany, and Caspian

Instagram post 2185076861332090627_3091462540 We’re often asked what we pack and how we pack for overlanding. 🧳 Obviously our list is going to be different from yours. We have a toddler. We travel full-time. We try to avoid subfreezing weather. Maybe you travel with a dog and love winter camping. 🥶⁣
⁣
Even if your circumstances are different, we hope our list is a helpful jumping-off point for you. 👍 It’s exhaustive—literally the exact list we check off when we’re leaving on an overlanding adventure. ⁣

❓What is an item you’d never want to forget to pack❓⁣
