We all have stories to tell, even if we never intend to write a book, create a feature film, or take to the stage. My Overland Story is a celebration of your adventures and trips out into the world—be it a weekend trip around your local forest or a multi-year expedition spanning several countries.
At Overland Expo, it is the community of vehicle- and motorcycle-based travelers that make each event so unique. The Community Spotlight is a collection of narratives promoting the voices of storytellers from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Using the form below, submit either a written or video story about an overland trip that you have completed for a chance to be featured on the Overland Expo website, social media, and more!
TELL US ABOUT A TIME…
If accepted, your story could be featured on the Overland Expo Blog “Community Spotlight”, on Overland Expo social media posts, incorporated into Overland Expo events, etc. We may contact you for additional details prior to publishing and will notify you when/if your story is used.
At just about every Overland Expo, a couple of vehicles really stand out. It may be a great build from a company, a tried and true model that’s put together just right, or it might be something totally unique that stops you dead in your tracks. The latter is most definitely the case with Ashley and Austins’ 1982 Chinook.
Candi Skehan is the perfect example of an overlander that has modified their rig to suit their needs but still maintained a simple build. Her 2015 Wrangler Sahara was purchased new, and Candi didn’t waste any time putting it to use.
Our “Community Spotlight” series features Overland Expo attendees and their rigs. We like to showcase rigs with a special DIY flare, or rare models that aren’t commonly seen.
Our Why We Roam series continues with Episode 6 featuring Micah of Overland Underbudget.
The Land Cruiser Troop Carrier configuration has remained relatively unchanged for decades, and Ernesto and Taisa’s 2019 VD78 is an instant classic, with plenty of functionality packed into the understated build.
Our “Why We Roam” series continues with the fifth episode featuring Mike and Lauren of Go Play Outside. Together with their adventure dog Cooper, they explore the Southwest looking for new climbing and camping adventures.
When Ford asked us at Overland Expo to profile one of its Bronco ambassadors, I knew exactly who to talk to: veteran, overlander, and outdoorsman, Chad Brown.
Our Community Spotlight series has featured some amazing vehicles. We’ve covered vintage Land Cruisers, well-equipped Jeeps, and even a tiny Japanese camper van.
