A Drent and a Frisian have caught the travel bug and travel the world with their 4×4 camper. We are Cor and Grietje from NoFear Reizen and we will take you on roadtrip adventure.
We already have several travel reports on Wereldreizigers.nl written under the name NoFear TravelOn this page you can read everything about us, the Toyota camper, the nomadic existence and our overland travels in Europe and Africa.
Mighty sand dunes, deserted deserts and muddy jungles.
Wading rivers, icy cold and beautiful beaches
One day we were in the north of Australia, not far from Mount Isa, where our eyes fell on a car with a Dutch license plate. The surprise was enormous…how did it get here? In the end we hung on the lips of the Dutch couple who were traveling around in it for an evening. To ship, overlanding, selling your house, quitting your job…everything happened. A world opened up for us. It was immediately clear, we want this too! We didn't sleep well for a few nights…how are we going to organize this?
Already during the trip and immediately afterwards we could not keep our thoughts away from the new plans. When we got home we immediately immersed ourselves in the vehicle, the way of traveling and how we could make it happen. The rest is history.
Under plating (Skidplates): Essential for off-road adventures! These 2-3mm steel plates protect the underside of your vehicle from damage from sand, clay and rough rocks. They add a little weight to your car, but offer more than enough benefits. We bought ours at 4WD Specialist in Zeeland.
iOverlander app: The must-have for overlanders. This user-friendly app provides up-to-date information on campsites, wild camping spots, border crossings, repairers, and more. Thanks to constant user updates, you'll always be up to date. Renewed in 2024 and now available for a small fee.
Navigation: We no longer need paper maps thanks to apps. OsmAnd is the favorite for car routes; takes some getting used to, but then super reliable. For hiking, Mapy is ideal, with surprisingly complete paths and routes. Both work offline. Google Maps? Not our favorite. Garmin Overlander? We see no added value in it.
Lier and sandbanks: For challenging sand and mud, sandbars are a lifesaver. Put them behind the wheels and drive yourself free. A winch is handy, but requires a fixed point, such as a tree. Dig in and use your spare tire? Never had to do that! Available at 4WD Specialist.
Solar panels: Wild camping without worrying about power? With our Victron Energy solar panels and the car dynamo, the batteries stay charged. Enough energy for lighting, laptops, phones and the refrigerator. Plugs? Almost never necessary!
