A Word From Dan Grec
After years sitting at a desk I knew it wasn’t making me happy, so I made a drastic change. I combined my curiosity of vehicles and my love of adventure travel to explore the most remote and far flung regions of the planet in my own 4×4 vehicles. Living out of vehicles full time through 56 countries around the world I have met all kinds of interesting characters and learned a thing or two about overlanding along the way.
My greatest passion is teaching others how to get out there and have adventures on an enormous scale.
I’m just an ordinary guy. If I can do it, you can too.
Keep up with my life and travels on your favorite social media @TheRoadChoseMe.
