In 2022 Nina and Ricky set of from Australia to drive around the world

Our story so far…

The Beginning

It all began in 2019 when Ricky asked Nina to join him on a motorcycle trip from Timor-Leste to Europe. That journey came to an untimely end in Indonesia at the start of 2020 when the pandemic made it impossible to continue.

Two years in Australia

After a lot of uncertainty, we decided that we would like to continue the journey in a 4WD rather than on a motorcycle. We found a 2007 Mitsubishi Pajero that we named Beatrix and set about setting her up to explore the world.

The Current Journey

In late 2022 we loaded up Beatrix in a shipping container and shipped her off to Malaysia and began driving to Europe.

Beatrix

Is a short-wheelbase 2007 NS Mitsubishi Pajero, that we have modified to live out of while traveling around the world. She has everything from custom made storage to a modified ikamper rooftop tent, filtered drinking water, and 230v electricity.

Nina

Navigates and keeps all the social media up to date making short films for TikTok and Instagram. Using her previous work as a ship’s purser Nina also looks after the endless Customs and Immigration paperwork and finances.

Ricky

Maintains Beatrix. Ricky does everything from ensuring Beatrix starts in the morning to getting us to our next destination safely. With 21 years as a chef, he does most of the cooking when we aren’t eating all the amazing food around the world.
