How I Adventure: Overlanding
How I Adventure: Overlanding
My approach to overlanding isn’t about building the biggest or toughest rig.
It’s about taking a stock, high-mileage Volvo XC70 and learning how to travel reliably, comfortably, and sustainably with it.
The XC70 isn’t a rock crawler — and that’s the point. Routes are chosen carefully, gear is added slowly, and every change has to earn its place.

What this kind of adventure looks like
Backroads, forest roads, and remote camps
Simple sleep setups instead of permanent builds
Gear that can be removed, repaired, or replaced
Trips planned around weather, terrain, and recovery time

Why it works for me
Living with a disability means reliability matters more than capability.
The XC70 allows me to travel independently, carry what I need, and adapt when plans change — without overcomplicating the build.
