Clay Croft and Scott Brady reflect on the final stretch of XOVERLAND’s nearly 40,000 km journey across West Africa.

In this episode, they unpack the “final mile” mindset—where focus, discipline, and safety matter most—as the team pushes toward Cape Town while navigating coups, elections, border crossings, fuel shortages, and illness.

They share hard-earned lessons from the road, including the brutal conditions of Guinea’s roads, the realities of long-range fuel planning, and the surprising consistency of welcoming locals along the way. The conversation also dives into gear and vehicle performance—from Toyota Trailhunter reliability on poor fuel to a 25,000-mile Mobil 1 oil test, plus the small upgrades that made a big difference.

As they near the completion of a global circumnavigation, Clay and Scott reflect on what it takes to finish strong—and why meaningful adventure is possible in any vehicle.

Join Cyrus Croft and Peter van Stralen as they reflect on reaching the end of the first phase of their journey—and the miles that have shaped it so far.

For Peter, life on the road started early, growing up immersed in the Epic Family Road Trip, where global travel wasn’t just an idea—it was a way of life. For Cyrus, expedition-style adventure was part of his upbringing, taking him across the world and instilling a deep drive to explore beyond the familiar.

Now, the two come together to take on an ambitious goal: driving vertically around the world. In this episode, they share what it means to carry forward a legacy of adventure, the realities of life on the road as young explorers, and why this journey is only the beginning.

Join Richard and Ashley Giordano as they share what it really looks like to build a life on the road—together. From winding their way across Europe to navigating Morocco, the remote “Stans,” and even securing a rare Russian transit visa, their journey is anything but ordinary.

In this episode, they dive into the realities of long-term travel as a couple—the challenges, the unexpected moments, and the lessons learned from life beyond borders. Whether you’re dreaming of your own overland adventure or already living it, this conversation offers an honest look at what it takes to keep moving forward—together.
