We're sitting down with Van Life Exports Steffen and Janin from @Syncro Travels to discuss what it is really like driving around the world on a budget, including some incredible stories from the road less traveled. This adventure couple shows us what it's really like to be Overlanding with no plan and limited resources, how they made friends along their travels, and how open and welcoming people were when they visited their countries.
There are also some really scary stories from their traveling, including one of the worst things that could happen on the road.
Their adventure is truly inspiring and it's such a privilege to share this with you today.

Put the kettle on and join us for a great conversation.
