The Pin Project - Overlanding the World

GHT Overland Podcast with The Pin Project Overlanding the World

Nikos and Georgia of Greece

Departing from Greece in April of 2012, Nikos and Georgia have been overlanding the world, or as they will tell you “Travel-Living” full time. They’ve crossed over fifty  countries from Europe, Africa and the Americas, they’ve driven a staggering 137,387 km. (85,368 mi.) with a goal to put as many pins in the world map and visit as many places as possible. No question, they accomplished exceptional things, met new people and Lived the Adventure; Wow!


A few key points about Nikos and Georgia that were not lost on us; this was an overlanding trip for them, an adventure to explore and enjoy life. Living on the road, experiencing the diversity of cultures in the truest sense! No Instagram, no Facebook (that’s rare) and they did the most important thing; they documented! They learned with open minds and they absorbed. The books they’ve written are the  manifestation of their experiences and learnings. You will be rewarded deapy by obtaining these books! TRAVELIVING, TRAVELEATING and 69 FAQ Before Going Overland (free download!)


This is a great two part episode as we learn why they started their overlanding trip in a Suzuki Grand Vitara 4X4, sold it and moved into a Toyota Hiace (small cargo van). We learn about financing, working as overlanders; along with all the details, challenges and discoveries of a long-term overland trip.
