Eric and Brittany Highland quit their jobs seven years ago and have lived on the road ever since. They started with an RV and eventually moved into a Jeep Wrangler that was set up for rock crawling. Then their son, Caspian, arrived and they built a Jeep Gladiator around the idea of traveling the world with a toddler.
Just days before crossing the U.S. border into Mexico, the Highlands sat down for an interview with Wade about their travel plans for the next 10 to 15 years. With no definitive schedule in mind, the couple reflects on how this colossal journey came to be, the details of building out a rig for global overland travel, and how raising a child on international roads is one of the best ideas they ever had.
Follow the Highlands in all their travels on Instagram, check out their blog for detailed reports, and watch their YouTube channel for more information. Also if you're inspired by Brittany, Eric, and Caspian, consider becoming Patreons to support their trip around the globe.
