We're Chris and Sara

We've gotten lost so you don't have to.

We've been on the road since 2018 with our dog Kramer, who has opinions about all of it. Home, most days, is a 1988 Land Cruiser. We didn't grow up doing this, so a lot of what you'll find here was our first time too. 30+ countries and 150,000 friends on YouTube later, this is everything we wish someone had told us first.
