The Begining

The dream was born long ago. But it took time, guts, and one simple promise to start. This isn’t just another trip. It’s a story. A mission. A ride through dust, silence and faraway borders. Come closer. The road's just beginning.

The Car Hunt

The dream was set — but first, I had to find the right horse. One that wouldn’t stop at the first hill, cry on cold mornings, or choke on bad diesel. At first, I dreamed of a Defender. Iconic. Capable. Charismatic. But not quite the partner for a half-year ride through dust, heat, and chaos. So I went looking for something different. Just as strong — but a little more... better.

Making It Real

Fourteen months of prep, dust, and endless problem-solving. The dream is cheap — the preparation is not. But some dreams deserve to be chased, even if you have to push them uphill.

ABOUT ME

No Hero. Just a Guy with a Dream.

No 4×4 experience.
No off-road driving.
No idea how differentials work.
No real mechanical skills.
Never been deep off the road.

But…
When I set a goal, I reach it.
I never really liked running. Then I ran a half-marathon.
I wasn’t into long walks either. Then I walked 800 km to the sea.
Simple as that.

Let’s see how far this road goes.

Toyota vs. The World

At the beginning, it was just a dream — and in that dream, the first car was the iconic Land Rover Defender. But I had to dive deeper to find my beast. A full-blooded off-roader that could handle deserts, mountains, potholes that swallow goats, fuel...

Meet My Beast

After weeks of searching, test-driving, crawling under rusty frames, and pretending I understood suspension geometry, the hunt is over. I found her. The one. She’s a 2003 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 120. Price? 229,000 CZK — about 9,200 €. Mileage? Around 426,000 km. Yes, that’s...
