Hi Nick and Mathilde, Namaste from India and Falhar Nomads. We both really loved watching your videos driving in your 4x4 defender. Have you travelled to India or yet to come to India? We would be delighted to host you both. Because, we are also full time travellers meeting both of you would be an honour. Since a year we are also planning diving in The UK, Europe, Canada and North America. But, after watching your videos the tour programme is about to change adding Central and South America including Africa and Middle East. Thanks for sharing your extensive experience that has motivated and inspired us. Looking forward to meeting you guys. Namaste

Rock on you guys! So I have a ton of questions, but I'll talk with you on Clubhouse Nicolas. Having said that, one question I do have is that you mention all continents, and only shipping the vehicle twice. I'm guessing you aren't planning on going to Antarctica then? Also just as a note for you to research. The rules and regulations for temporarily importing a vehicle into Australia are stringent to say the least. You may want to look at that a bit more. For us, our route is different than yours. But we plan to ship our vehicle from Asia back to the USA and then fly to Australia and either buy or rent a vehicle for our Australian portion of the journey. Feel free to ping me if you have any questions after you look into it. But man, so happy for you and Mathilde! You guys are going to have a blast, and we want an invite to that party at the end of the trip! ~ Eric

Looks to be a amazing journey you have planed looking forward to seeing more in your videos to come . Cheers from Steve Stott in Sutherlin Oregon U.S.A.:):)👍🏼

Suffice to say Vladimir Putin put a quick wrench in this plan.. but actually for the better you got to the Americas sooner and did so right from Europe. I can't imagine the cost to ship your car from Australia all the way to Alaska! It's interesting to have watched this video only after seeing all your adventures in the Americas and think - wait a minute - you weren't even going to the Americas until after all of Asia and Australia!

Hello! stumble upon you channel Via Eva's trip to Alaska - as an Israeli I am happy you plan to cross our country. Since it is a small country I think you will cross it fast. I do not know what you knowledge is about this area but Israel have crossable borders only with Egypt and Jordan. to cross to Israel from Egypt you will have to do it from Sinai to Eilat. When time will arrive - if you will need any recommendation/questions about Israel - don't hesitate to ask. Goodluck!

I'm just curious how you're going to manage your sleeping situation. Are you only sleeping in the car and how do you plan where you can keep your car for the night? And are you also combining it with hostels/hotels?

@NextMeridianExpedition

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Felice, we will be sleeping in our car most nights, most probably 6 nights a week. We will book the occasional hostel/hotel to refreshen our clothes and car. Albatross (the car) is equipped with a shower, sink, bed and cooking system, Albo will be our home on wheels. We will sleep wherever the sun sets :) In our next video, we will be presenting you Albo, and will be going through the installations and equipment we have for the travel.

I know things have changed now but 2 months in Australia is too short you won't see anything. Stay at least 6 months and avoid the centre and the north in summer.

Excellent route. You will love Nepal. Kathmandu is amazing. Spend a few days there, and visit Patan. If your schedule allows, take a small plane to Lukla, and spend a night or two in some of the villages. Kathmandu is really a great place for stuff. Some awesome hand embroidered tee shirts, cashmere, and jewellery. I stayed in both the Summit hotel in Latlipur, Kathmandu. And the Greenwich village hotel. Both an oasis of calm from the madness that is Kathmandu. Got some locations you can visit if you need anything
