  • This is it! The kick-off of my solo World Trip to Asia in my self-converted Land Rover Defender Overland camper. It's a strange feeling that after many, many months of preparations, the time has come to turn the key and go! As you can imagine, I'm super excited. Curious about what's to come... Well, I can tell you this; the start is pretty rough! So, enjoy this episode!!!

    Great video man! Some amazing storytelling & really cool shots! I know the feeling about wanting to go slower too, we're currently in Morocco in our van and I have to force myself to stop driving further and just go with the flow! 😂 Best of luck with the trip keep up the work you're putting into these videos and it'll all pay off for you. ☺

    I laughed so hard at the beginning when you said you were off to get some lunch and started walking towards the cows. You need to see how many cows you can make friends with throughout your trip.

    • @HaveFunAndGo
      @HaveFunAndGo  Рік тому

      I planned to lure the cows with the apple and have a nice steak for lunch but instead, I made some new (undoubtedly one of many) cow friends 😉

    Heya Erik, really nice editing... ;-)
    May I only suggest you to turn down the pre heating lever while cooking. It's only used to be up while pre heating for about a minute. After that you should turn it down.
    Any other Coleman related questions, just hit me up ;-)
    Adventurous greetings, Coen.

    • @HaveFunAndGo
      @HaveFunAndGo  Рік тому

      Ola Coen! Thanks for the compliment, it's very much appreciated. I know about the lever but I keep forgetting about the damn thing 9 out of 10 times. Anyhow, my love/hate relationship with the Coleman has begun 😂 If I have any questions... I let you know, thanx!
