My overland rig was featured on Tiny House Giant Journey. Here is their awesome video.
Mike has spent years traveling the world in custom overlander rvs, and he has perfected the art of converting vehicles to tiny homes.

I review the 2021 KTM 390 Adventure motorbike. After spending 5 months in southern Baja Mexico & riding nearly 2000 miles on this bike in mostly off road conditions I share my thoughts on the smallest & lowest priced ($6200 USD) adventure bike in the KTM family. A great addition for those looking for a light, nimble bike that can be fitted to your overland adventure truck ..read more

I had the pleasure to meet Matt from the the JaYoe Nation YouTube channel at Overland Expo East. If you are into adventure, overlanding, cycling or just about any other travel related activity be sure to follow this guy! Matt is incredible! He has climbed Mount Everest, run marathons, ridden a recumbent human powered trike half way across the world, and is now building an Overland Van to drive across the globe on a very similar route to me. Truly inspiring and a blast to watch his videos.
