The story of Willys Jeep, Colombia’s beloved metal mule.
Why and how did the Willys Jeep became so loved in Colombia? The first USA military WW2 Jeeps (M38 or CJ-2A models) arrived to Colombia in 1946 for military purposes as at the time the USA had a massive oversupply of the Jeeps. They were imported by the Colombian Ministry of Defence for the army but apparently never used for war purposes though. It also seem many civilian Willys Jeeps were imported. The local Colombian farmers quickly took a fancy to them
Riding on the biggest salt lake in the world!
Short clip of our time on the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. It is a near 10 000km2 salt flat. Riding a motorcycle there is a freaky weird experience but something we will never ever forget. Grateful that we were able to see it in its splendor when wet and now in the dry. The salt is rock hard and a blast to ride. Just pick a direction and let the bike drift. In the Salar, there are a few small islands dotted with massive cacti that are said to be only growing something like 2-4cm per year.

Why de hell would you want to visit the United States?
Why the hell would anyone want to travel the USA? For a start, let’s face it the US lacks the variety of wildlife found in Africa and Australia. Okay, they do have ferocious rattlesnakes, hoards of squirrels and a lot of suicidal deer crossing roads at dawn or dusk. Then, it’s not an affordable place for long-term budget travellers. But we had to go see and were blown away by what we found!
