How traveling as an overlander can be one of the most liberating (and affordable) ways to travel.
How to fly around the country or around the world for pennies on the dollar.
How you can move overseas, become a temporary expat, and live nearly rent free thanks to the new sharing economy.

Your biggest obstacle to achieving your travel dreams (and how to overcome it).
And much, much more!
