Our road trip through the Americas
Our journey will start in Luxembourg at the beginning of March 2024, when we drive our camper truck to Hamburg. From there, it will be shipped to Canada. Upon the arrival of our camper truck in Halifax, our expedition will begin in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. Following this, we then head westward to British Columbia. Our journey then takes us across the Yukon towards Alaska, proceeding north on the Dalton Highway and crossing the Arctic Circle to reach the Beaufort Sea. Then, we plan to drive south through Alaska and Canada into the USA, along the west coast to Mexico. If everything goes according to plan, we expect to arrive there in December 2024, likely spending Christmas in Baja California.
The latter part of our trip will involve traveling through Central and South America to reach Ushuaia. This part of the trip is still open and requires further planning.

Stages of our journey
On the 4th of March 2024, we left our home for Hamburg.
The handover of our camper truck happened on the 6th of March at the port of Hamburg.
On the 12th of March, we took an airplane from Hamburg to Toronto (Canada).
After spending six great days in Toronto, we flew to Montreal on March 18. Meanwhile, our camper truck is on a cargo ship (RoRo) on its way to Halifax (NS).
We spent a beautiful week in Montréal, with even some snow. On March 25, we took the airplane to Halifax, and the cargo ship with our camper truck arrived at the port the day after.
Our camper truck, undamaged and ready for adventure, awaited us in the port of Halifax on March 28. The handling with the agency, customs, and port administration had been remarkably smooth.
Since April 1st, we have started our trip on the roads in Canada with our camper truck.
From the 5th to the 8th of April, we found ourselves on Prince Edward Island, where we were treated to the awe-inspiring sight of a total solar eclipse.
On April 13th, we drove the northeast coast of New Brunswick to the Gaspé Peninsula. We visited Québec-City from April 18th to 20th.
We spent two weeks in Ontario, visiting Ottawa, Algonquin National Park, and the north shore of Lake Superior.
During the next four days, we traveled through Manitoba and Saskatchewan and tried to visit the Grasslands National Park, but after one week of rain, the gravel roads were too muddy to drive on.
We spent the next four weeks in Alberta and British Columbia before entering the Yukon on June 3rd.
On June 11th, we had a breakdown on the Dempster Highway. A major gear oil leak prevented us from reaching the Arctic Circle and the Arctic Ocean.
After having a nice time in Dawson City, we entered Alaska on the Top of the World Highway on June 23rd.
