When the Road Took Over (Paperback)

When the Road Took Over follows a 27,000-kilometre overland expedition through parts of South America in a 4x4 truck. Traversing remote wilderness, unforgiving mountain passes, and unpredictable border crossings, the journey moves through raw landscapes and unpredictable wildlife encounters. As kilometres accumulate, the daily reality shifts from sightseeing to logistics, uncertainty, and physical endurance. Two decades after a life-changing journey around the world set a career and lifestyle in motion, the writer juggles the demands of unpredictable roads, breakdowns, and isolation alongside a creative process. Working through photography, videography, and writing, this memoir captures that movement and learning: how travel—through logistics, setbacks, and constant adjustment—continues to reshape the writer behind the wheel.
