Overlanders!

A little snippet of information we found amusing but very fitting!

On our South American Adventure we will mainly be travelling overland in specialised trucks to get off the beaten tourist trail.   
We will become known as 'Overlanders'. 
Dragoman's (the tour operator's) definition of an Overlander is as follows: 
Overlander (o-ver-lan-der): 
One who seeks adventure, knowledge and new experiences. 
A traveller who engages in exciting and adventurous pursuits. 


and One who has the following characteristics: 
Possesses an almost uncontrollable urge to travel.
Expects more from a holiday than just a suntan.
Open minded, with a great sense of humour.
Considers a hot bath every day a luxury, not a necessity.
Enjoys the company of others (even those who don’t bath every day).
Loves to wander off the beaten track.
Respects and embraces other cultures.
Doesn’t insist on a pocket sprung mattress to get a good nights sleep.
Handy with a shovel if called upon.



I think we'll fit in nicely!
