We still have a few months before we set off on the adventure of a lifetime overlanding abroad. Before we hit the road, we're making route plans, visa information, carnet de passage arrangements, and are even working on bringing our dog overseas with us! This video is dedicated to sharing with y'all some of what we've learned so far and hopefully get input/advice from some of you. :) Please drop your questions/info in the comments below!
