A few years ago I came across Overland NZ on Youtube. After a few episodes I was sold to this awesome thing called overlanding.
Didn't take me long to jump into my first 4wd which was a 90 series Prado. Fast forward today iv had a 150 series and now in an 80 series Landcruiser.
The common theme here is the 7 seats. I enjoy taking my family out on trips. Its the whole reason overlanding attracted me so much. Its the best chance to take the kids away from technology and disconnect from it all and show them parts of New Zealand not alot get to see.
We have been all around New Zealand but this journey is far from over. Looking forward to many more trips of the beaten path.
