Tag Archives: Special encounters – We’re not the only ones living a nomadic lifestyle in a home-on-wheels. Just meet fellow overlanders Frank and Sharon if you don’t believe me. We first met them a couple years ago in Uganda, but recently reconnected with them in Spain’s Pyrenees Mountains. They had some very exciting news to share with us!  Nearly seven weeks in my family home in Eastern Canada went by in a flash. That’s because they were full of family, food, and friendship. This summer will go down in the history books as one of my favorite all-time. And so, here is an ode to that summer, in photos.  After thirty days, 3,300km, and eight border crossings, our arrival in France marks the end of our overland transit from Turkey. Exhausted yet with hearts and minds full of experiences, we reconnected with family across the country – and celebrated a very, VERY exciting event.  I’d never traveled by camping car with another couple before. I would do so now, with overlander friends Phil and Angie. We would traverse Turkey’s Lycian Way, a 500km long-distance trail that follows in the footsteps of the mysterious, ancient Lycian people.  I’ve known about Phil and Angie, fellow long-term overland travelers, as long as I’ve known Bruno. Finally, on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, I got to meet them. What follows is the story of them, their previous and future travels, our three-day reunion, and a budding travel plan to drive a chunk of the road together. |
