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 complex border crossings, the journey unfolds through raw landscapes, wildlife, and moments of human connection. As kilometres accumulate, the daily reality moves between travel, 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 consuming creative process. This memoir brings it all together, capturing not only the landscapes travelled but also the inner journey: how adventure, interactions with people and places, setbacks, constant adaptation, and the discovery of personal limits continue to reshape the writer behind the wheel.
