Hi, I found this forum by incident and found it pretty interesting.
I looked around here to find a place where people usually intoduce themselves when they are new here.
As I couldnt find such threade or alike, I thought this might be the best "place".
My name is Jakob, I am from Germany.
I own an Mercedes LA 1113A from 1965 that I bought in 2005 as a retired Firetruck.
Since then I spent all my time and effort to convert it into a decent overlanding rig. 7.4m long, 2.38m wide, 3.35m tall
During these years I allways used it for traveling, playing in the dirt and meeting other people with the same passion.
Since march 2022 I am together with my whife on a trip from europe to central asia and back.
At the time we left germany we cancelled everything (jobs, flat) to be free to decide for how long we want to be on the "road" and where to end up.
I am Paraplegic and in need to use a Wheelchair.
Way to central Asia:
Gemany - Austria - Slowenia - Kroatia - Bosnien and Herzegovina - Albania - Montenegro - Greece - Turky - Georgia - Russia - Kazacstan - Uzbekistan - Tajikistan
Way back from central Asia:
Uzbekistan - Kasacstan
Unfortunately we suffered a transfer case (VG500-3W) damage near Baikonur, so we are currently waiting for a replacement shipped form Germany.
Plan for the way back to Europe:
Russia - Georgia - Turky - Greece - (to be decided)
AloHa
