Avoid bug and thick bites during travelling

The danger is not only in Africa, but also in Central and South America or Asia, where some of these diseases can be found. I was pretty shocked to find dengue even in mancore in peru during one of my journeys. And as the Zika disease shows, it is no longer just the countries directly around the equator that are severely affected. Zika is now found throughout South America. And Zika attacks the genetic material , which only becomes important again when the question of children arises. The diseases rarely have a fatal course, but it is worth protecting yourself. Global Map of Zika During our own 70`000 Miles overland journey by 4x4 we had time to test a lot. To protect ourself is pretty easy in my eyes, with using this three easy steps: Use a repellent for your visible skin. Use special repellent (washable) for your clothes Use clothes with bite protection Skin repellents Dont trust these repellent comparisons you can find. The local pharmancy always knows what will works best locally

Review: Helpful apps for wildcamping

As you remember that I did wrote a small howto, how you can find a wildcamping spot by yourself. Also severall Apps are helping us travellers for optaining a wildcamping spot nearby too. They are discussed different under us overlanders. In many areas of the world the amount of vanlifers is growing fast. And not all are travelling like we all should: travelling without a trace. So often all the more experienced travellers did hit a place where is covered partly with excrements and trash and arent happy about these apps, they regret to made this spots visible to the public. I also did start to collect new wildcamp spots just in countrys, where they really help us travellers in a foreign country. The calculation is easy: it is the amount of travellers who are made this places that dirty. When you also got some experience you will also see, that it is better to look for an own place than these well known places. There you are never shure to spend the night alone, anytime another travele

The best travel apps in 2021 for Android / iOS

The best travel apps in 2021, travel apps for smartphone or tablet and Android and IOS. A smartphone is an irreplaceable travel companion for me. With the right apps, a smartphone helps save space and weight, helps plan your route, check exchange rates, book hostels, book flights, navigate and much much more. The investment in a local simcard usually pays back quickly, or an appropriate roaming package. After quite a while on the road, some favorite Apps of my has to be named. Here is an updated list of the most important travel apps to mee. Of course, it's not just a list - you'll also find a reason why each app is so irreplaceable for me. Here we go - Offline street navigation (Android / iOS) Street names, house numbers, "Please turn left in 20m" - HERE or Here.com (formerly Smart2Go, Map24, Navteq, Nokia Maps) offers very good navigation in over 100 countries. Quite a few car manufacturers equip their navigation systems with Navteq map material (BMW, VW, Daimler e

Hot water and shower solutions for vanlife, overlanding and outdoor.

We have been traveling for 9 years with a heat exchanger that is integrated into the engine cooling circuit. This solution requires a major intervention in the technology of the base vehicle and was not a bargain in terms of purchase price at the time. What has happened in the meantime - how do we get a hot shower in 2021 if we are not heading to a campsite? The following solutions are all suitable, but have their own advantages / disadvantages in terms of transport and use. Sometimes the equipment is a little heavy, a little bulky or your hunger for energy is enormous. Vanlife Outdoor "Hot-Shower" Setup There are different kinds of hot water tansk and boilers out there, heated by sun, gas, diesel, electricity (12v, 110v/220v) heat exchanger (engine, park heating). Here I will show you a selection of approved well made camp shower options! Here you find more or less mobile solutions for using it at campsite or outdoor.
