Here are some facts an figures from our road trip.
- We left the Netherlands on August 6th 2020 an will return to the Netherlands on April 16th 2025. That means we have been travelling for 4 years, 8 months and ten days. Or 1714 days.
- We have travelled across 4 continents; Europa, Asia (albeit a very small part, but still), North America and South America.
it may take some time for the maps to load correctly.
Europe and Asia
North America
- We drove 120.916 kms on this trip. That’s three times the circumference of the world.
- We have visited 26 new countries during this trip.
- We also travelled through 11 countries we had already been to in the past, so we have travelled through 37 countries on this entire journey.
- We have had at least 104 border crossings on this journey, but since not every country puts a stamp in a passport we don’t know the exact amount.
- In total we have travelled through 47 countries with the van, which we’ve had since 2014. In total the van has driven 393.160 kms and has a new engine by now.
- Binkie travelled through 36 countries with us and twice he went on a plane. We still miss him, he should’ve been going home with us.
- Finnley has travelled through 10 countries with us and will be going on his first plane ride very soon. He and Binkie would’ve been great friends.
- We have shipped the van three times.
- We have seen three of the seven world wonders; the colosseum in Italy, Machu Picchu in Peru and the Christ the Redeemer statue in Brazil. None of those were highlights on our trip….
- We rescued 6 cats, one dog and one horse (with help 😉 during our trip. Well, 7 cats really, but we kept Finnley and it feels more like we found each other. Twice I also tried to get help for other dogs, once in Turkey and once in Albania, but failed. The rescued cats and the dog all went to private rescues in the area. One kitten died a week after arriving in the shelter due to liver failure, we hope the others are doing well.

Bedankt! De terugreis is goed verlopen. We zijn woensdag geland. Helaas hebben we de bus nog niet terug, onze container is geselecteerd voor extra controle, zucht. Hopelijk hebben we hem volgende week terug.
