Around the World in 10 Years: The Book of Independence: Overlanding Southern Europe, Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt

Pablo Rey (Buenos Aires) and Anna Callau (Barcelona) have been overlanding the world non stop since June 2000 on a 4WD van, even before the vanlife movement started. They mastered the art of solving problems (breakdowns and police harassment, for example) in far away places, while enjoying their nomadic lifestyle. They've been 3 years driving between Cairo and Cape Town, 7 years all around South America, and 7 more years going to every corner of Central and North America. They crossed the Southern Atlantic Ocean in a fishing vessel, descended an Amazon river in a 6 log wooden raft, and walked with a swiss knife between elephants in wild Africa. On the last two years they started to travel by foot (Pyrenees mountains coast to coast) and motorbike (Asia), with the smallest lugagge possible. Pablo has written three books, many articles to magazines like Overland Journal and Lonely Planet, and both are in the short list of the most respected latin overlanders. "...I'll never forget that Monday when I put the barrel of a gun to my head and fired until I was out of bullets, without stopping to think of what I was doing so I wouldn't have a chance to change my mind. It was my resignation to a future which I already knew, a farewell to a secure job, an adieu to a brilliant career in advertising, the microcosm where I had lived for the last twelve long years. It was ten minutes after ten in the morning and my last words were, more or less 'keep the corpse, I'm leaving.' My body collapsed and I walked out the door." The Book of Independence."The Book of Independence works its magic like a bellows on the embers of wanderlust, inspiring us to break away from the norm, to slow down and smell the proverbial rosesâ€¦ or cow or elephant dung. Itâ€™s not about what youâ€™ll do after you retire, itâ€™s about what you do before you die." Chris Collard, Chief Editor of Overland Journal, United States"They're intent on completing their round the world trip in 10 years and, possibly, to invent whatever excuse afterwards to remain in motion." Lonely Planet "Theyâ€™ve lived through everything... from elephant attacks provoked by getting too close to a herd with calves to getting shot at in Ethiopia.â€ TVE, Spanish Television"We are very much enjoying your book! Your stories really capture what overlanding is all about. Thank you!" Roseann Hanson, Overland Expo founder, United States"Pablo and Anna are genuine. Their vision is a simple one, without pretense, that offers the rest of us the option to attain our own dreams, no matter how deep. Pablo y Anna, bravo y buena ruta." Cemil Alyanak, Excess Noise, United States"When I pick up a book, I hope that the pages that are about to reach my eyes are ones of treasure, ones of inspiration. I want to be transported into the world of the writer as they share their story through their mesmerizing words, those of wisdom, strife, and adventure. Reading a title such as this already takes you to the front step, and Pablo Reyâ€™s enchanting tale does the rest. You hear of so many stories about the race to travel and it leaves you wonderingâ€¦ What happens when you stop running and just be? To take a whole adventure, and make it your whole life? The definition of â€˜exploringâ€™ doesnâ€™t even begin to cover it. Pablo takes you through a whole new transformation into a world that the English language barely has words to define. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a fly in Pabloâ€™s brain as his words are so artistically magical, that it is impossible not to whisk you away into this alternate universe."
