2. Why travel in a 4x4?

This nomadic travel concept, different from vanlife and more minimalist, allows you to experience unique moments close to nature: mountain bivouacs, access to remote places, intimate adventures… The main benefit is greater freedom with a wide range of destinations. Overlanding — the English term for 4x4 itinerant travel — promotes a lifestyle that encourages rethinking our habits, consumption, and energy use.
