Overlanding Spain, exploration and camping through Andalucia, learning from nature and tackling health recovery using the outdoors
Budget overlanding, getting started with a minimalistic set up and budget 4×4, how we do it and how the vision has progressed
A reason to write, we began this site to share our stories with family & friends, it is now a resource for likeminded overlanders
Our mission is to inspire families to discover their adventurous side and get outdoors. This site was created to share our story and also provide resources on camping and overlanding within Spain providing tips, advice and tutorials all related to 4×4 camping on a budget.
Find out why we chose a Mitsubishi Shogun Sport for our first overlanding project…
They say the best 4×4 for overlanding is the one you already have – that is if you have one! Our choice of vehicle had to be budget friendly as well as more than capable off road and as a daily driver.
In 2020 after relentless searching we finaly imported our Mitsubishi from the UK to Spain and the project came alive.
Find out why we imported, the process of registration and the beginnings of our overland build, we detail everything from the big jobs to the smallest with budget in mind and main goal of acheiving functionality and simply getting out there!

Its’s no secret that camping these days is not as easy as it used to be, there are more and more restrictions but hey, life is for living and we think that enjoying the freedom of being outdoors should be something for everyone.
We’re Mac and Gayle, and if you’re like us you can’t wait to get out and enjoy the outdoors at every opportunity you get.
In 2004 we packed up everything in the UK and moved to Andalucia [Granada] to renovate a cave house – living out of a caravan with our then 2 year old son while we did it was the first part of the adventure! Nowadays you can find us in a small corner of the Altiplano de Granada adapting our warehouse for full time living (we never like conventional buildings!), a base from which we travel and budget overland across Spain ‘poco a poco’…
For regular videos covering short overland trips, Mitsubishi Shogun related bits and product reviews. Nothing serious, we just do it because we like to 🙂
