Owning a 4x4 in Africa sounds like a dream—but it comes with real logistical challenges. In this vlog, I open up about the complexities of running and maintaining my LandCruiser Troopy on the African continent. After owning five Troopies across Africa and Australia, I’m asking an honest question: Is it time to let this one go? This isn’t just about one vehicle—it’s about the realities of long-term overlanding in Africa. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments. 🎙 Andrew St Pierre White 🌐 Learn more at: https://www.4xoverland.com/high-mileage-landcruiser-build-africa/ #4x4offroad #4x4life #overlanding #overlandlife #landcruiser #offroad4x4 #overland #offroading #adventure #toyota
Sometimes, help comes from the most unexpected places. In this deeply personal story, I recount a moment at Oliver Tambo International Airport, Johannesburg, where a stranger—someone I will never forget—stepped in at a critical moment.

But behind the glossy vision were a group of developers who left subcontractors unpaid and tried to do the same to me. Only this time… they failed. Because I had one thing they needed. And I used it. 🎧 Listen to The Next Journey with ASPW Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/29xZEsDMuj5460PqaNwjJD Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-journey/id1704125356 🌐 More stories, films & reflections: www.aspwexperience.com
