Home Is Where You Park It : Gear Edition

September 2017

One year. 37 countries. 57,987 kilometres. A lifetime of memories. Years of planning had gone into this epic journey and within the blink of an eye it was over!

Home Is Where You Park It : Gear Edition

Thanks to our reliable Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and some amazing gear, we were able to take on some of Africa’s toughest, untouched roads.

 

Camping Equipment

The product that turned our car into a home was our Howling Moon 1.4 Stargazer Deluxe Roof Top Tent. The Stargazer was incredibly easy to set up and take down. The tent was equipped with six large windows, allowing ample ventilation during hotter evenings. Many nights were spent star gazing (aptly named) through the two roof windows. The best feature was the high density foam mattress. The few times we found ourselves in a hotel, we’d wake up longing for our bed. Even my mom, who absolutely despises camping (mainly because of the associated discomforts) had a sound sleep; a true testament to the quality and comfort of the Howling Moon roof top tent.

Diving with Giants

Three hundred miles off the coast of Baja, California exists the remnants of an ancient volcano known as Roca Partida. Discovered by Spanish explorers in the early 1600s, this tiny uninhabited island is just a speck in a vast and empty seascape. Its only topside inhabitants are the birds that flock to the area, but beneath the surface it boasts one of the most impressive spectacles of pelagic marine life on the planet.
