It doesn’t really matter if you are a travel writer. If you travel  and you like to write about your adventures, theworldoffroad can be your blog. If you have a nice story to tell, just write it and send it to Akis & Vula at info@theworldoffroad.com.

We will publish if its accompanied by one photo at least. So don’t think too much. Just go back to your travels, pick up a nice moment, write 5 words about (or 100 – 200 maximum) and send it. We may create a nice community of hardcore travellers, backpackers and overlanders here…

Reinholdt from Germany and Katerina from Greece is a couple we had never met before they arrived to Saadani, using their GPS. We accepted them happily at Saadani River Lodge where they wanted to take a rest during their long African trip. Initially they objected our invitation to sleep in the Managers’ house but we persuaded them, so they enjoyed a proper bed after so long. The couple in the monstroous MAN truck quit their normal life in 2004 and since then they actually travel continuously. They started from Europe and in 2009 entered Africa. From the music business (they were selling professional guitar amplifiers all over the world and worked for various artists from M. Jackson to Dire Straits), they turned to professional overlanders. Now they say they can’t go back to normal life and will try to continue for ever. We wish you exactly this from the bottom of our hearts fellow overlanders!_A.Temperidis

If you visit Thessaloniki these days, ask for Noesis Tech Park to see our car and more exciting exhibitions from the future

The trip of the Greek couple in the Land Rover Discovery, gets more and more exciting. After the safaris in Tanzania, they traveled through Uganda and Rwanda to Burundi and D.R.Congo before heading to the north, towards Addis Ababa, Khartoum and now for Cairo.
The last days of the year were difficult as exciting for the Greek journalist of 4Wheels magazine, Akis Temperidis, and his companion, choreographer Vula Netu, who drive through Africa for the last 270 days. The Greek expedition spent many days in East Africa for different reasons. They visited famous National parks, like Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Masai Mara and Amboseli. They crossed Rwanda and visited the genocide memorials of this hopeful country. They watched live the famous drummers of Burundi in Bujumbura and they had the best wildlife experience of their life, after a visit to the Kahuzi-Biega National park in D.R.Congo, for the mountain gorillas.
After this long painful trip, Akis and Vula drove back to Kenya, during the pre-election period. They left the country right before the elections that resulted in a bloodshed, as many feared in the most developed country of East Africa.

In Ethiopia, the Greek couple arrived safe and sound. After they drove to the Omo valley, in order to meet the Mursi and Mbanna people, they hit the road to Addis Ababa where they spent some days, waiting for the year 2008 to come and the complicate to issue visa for Sudan. After they got the visa, Akis and Vula drove towards Khartoum and from there to Wadi Halfa, where they got the old ferry to Aswan dam, through the lake Nasser. The Greek couple now heads to Cairo and from there to Alexandria in order to find a boat to cross the Mediterranean sea. They are expected to return to Greece at the beginning of February, for a break before the second stage of the trip, to South East Asia and Australia.
