WE BOUGHT A CAR IN AFRICA. SIGHT UNSEEN. STILL KEEN? [Ep 3]

Back in June this year, when we were still living in Europe, we bought a 25 year old Land Rover Defender 110 in South Africa. Sight unseen. Are we still keen? Excited? Thrilled? Or scared, disappointed, and overwhelmed by second thoughts? Is this why we quite our jobs?! And why did we name our car Pango? What type of name is that anyway? In this video, we start building our overlanding vehicle that we plan to take up into Africa. And that will be our home for... we don’t know how long exactly. Furthermore, we make you part of our plans regarding conservation. And we share some insights into how we approach things very differently…

Wander around with us
We are Lida & Carla 🇳🇱🇿🇦, and we're swapping the career ladder for a whole new set of tools 🛠️. First stop: South Africa to build our 25 year old Defender 110 named Pango into a home on wheels. Wander around with us as we jump in at the deep end, building a camper out of a Land Rover Defender and go exploring Africa 🌍

💚 Pango is short for pangolin, the most trafficked mammal in the world, which we want to raise awareness for.
