Letter from the road Issue 3 – Adapting Dear fellow member, Ukunda, June 1st 2026 Something the road brought up this time Recently, after three months in Oman, we have moved to Kenya. When we enter a new country, we always feel a bit unsure. Unsteady on our feet. Suddenly, all that we knew and…

25th April 2026 We thought the biggest challenge in Oman would be the heat. But apparently life had some very different challenges in store for us. The past few months felt like chaos was in charge. A sick cat. Then another sick cat.Overheating axles. No clear cause. More overheating. Brakes failing. Still no clear cause.A…

16th April 2026 We got a location and a date from a random stranger we met on the beach for ‘something cool with horses’. That’s all we knew. No information, no clue, just a pin in the middle of nowhere on google maps. Would you go? If anything, we have learned so far while traveling…

April 12th 2026 In Nizwa, it feels like stepping back in time. Surrounded by mountains and a lush palm oasis, this is a place where centuries-old traditions are still part of everyday life. Travel reports of travelers (even ‘overlanders’!) and merchants mentioning Nizwa are dating back to the 12th century. The impressive Nizwa Fort, built…

Over the past years, we’ve slowly stepped away from traditional schooling and into worldschooling and unschooling. It has been such an interesting world opening up!Learning is no longer just about reading,…

March 20th 2026 We explored Wadi Shab in Oman and it felt like stepping into another world! We have seen many wadi’s so far and all of them are unique and beautiful but this one felt like a real adventure. Our journey took us through dramatic canyon walls, extremely clear turquoise pools, and hidden caves…

12 March 2026 Driving in Oman is absolutely breathtaking! We have been driving a couple of beautiful and challenging roads so far and we absolutely loved it.

16 March 2026 We wanted to share a little update from Oman. First of all: we are and feel safe. In daily life, there is actually very little that reminds us of the situation dominating the headlines. Oman is calm, people go about their lives as usual, and the kindness and hospitality hasn’t changed. From…

5 March 2026 The UAE turned out to be a land of contrasts — and unforgettable moments. We thought we would ‘just drive through’ but we are so happy we got to experience more! We began our stay in what can only be described as a little paradise. Mohamed welcomed us to a place that…
