| "If I go on a two-year trip around the world, would you join me?" "Yes, I would," Karin-Marijke replied, unaware of what she was getting into. 'Forever Off Track' chronicles Karin-Marijke's and Coen's 3.5-year overland journey from Europe to Southeast Asia in their 20-year-old Land Cruiser, covering 46,000 miles across 15 countries. Karin-Marijke's fear of the unknown dissipates as they meet with unparalleled hospitality in Turkey and Iran and have unique experiences in little visited regions of Pakistan, Bhutan and Tibet. They argue about each other's driving style but share the joy of meeting beautiful people. After a year of traveling in India they search for tracks in Cambodia's jungle littered with landmines, and get lost on the former Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. They backpack through Myanmar and China, but their illegal entry into Tibet is cut short by malaria and they are evacuated to Thailand. Their savings are running low but Karin-Marijke and Coen believe in kismet and find ways to transform their journey into a way of life. If you are wondering whether it is really possible – venturing out into the world, leaving everything behind and trusting in the unknown: this story is for you. |
