Karstan And Maxine

Karstan And Maxine

Gidday... we're Karstan and Max 👋🏻 an Aussie couple (now parents) who have been travelling together since 2008.

We live life differently to most - and now that we’ve got two young girls we are more determined than we have ever been to see and experience all that this world has to offer.

You’ll mostly find us heading off the beaten track, exploring remote places and pushing the limits.

We’ve travelled in Kombis since 2009, but recently decided to up the ante with an Australian built expedition truck! AN OKA. And the dream is to take it all over Australia and the world.

We’re big believers in putting ourselves out there and giving everything a go, cause why not?

With a positive ‘can do attitude’ approach to life, we’re always eager to do things that most could only dream about and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

We look forward to taking you on our adventures with us!!

Cheers,
Karstan and Max + Zu & Ze

    He didn't nail that bed! He welded it! Instead of 2 seats behind the driver's seat, & 1 seat behind the passenger seat. I would have made 4 seats behind the driver's seat. 2 facing backward & 2 facing forward (facing each other) with a fold out table that would double as seats for the kids & a four seat diner (eliminating the dinette at the back) Behind the passenger seat a bigger fridge/freezer & pantry. Behimd the door on the passenger side would be the sink/stove/ovem & more cupboards. This would leave a nice size shower/toilet room on the driver side behind the seats/diner. Just my thoughts. Happy trails, Cowpokes

    Look forward to watching everything OKA, I have had a soft spot for them from the get go and it's good to see them re-birthed. You are brave young family and I wish you all the best. As another commenter suggests be carful with your weight, steel and heavy ply soon add up to lost capacity to carry other essentials, also have you thought about insulation? 😃
