Sharing our love for the great outdoors and the freedom of the open road.

PARKED. BUT NOT FOR LONG.

Hi, we are Stéphanie and Florian. We set off from Switzerland in June 2024 with a rough plan and no fixed endpoint. Two years later we’d made it all the way to South East Asia. For now we’re taking a breather, earning some money and dreaming of our next chapter: SOUTH AFRICA. We shipped our Landy already to Cape Town where he's patiently waiting for until we continue exploring the world.

This website is our visual diary of life on the road, sharing our love for the great outdoors and the freedom of the open road.

It’s a journey where every sunset marks the end of one adventure and the beginning of another, where the dust we leave behind tells the story of our daring exploits and the memories we create along the way.
