It’s never easy to recapitulate a fantastic overlanding season in pictures, but 2017 was particularly hard – of more than 1000 extraordinary shots in the first pick, we barely managed to decide which ones to discard in order to leave only 250 of the very best.

We’ve been all over the Balkans – Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia (FYROM), Albania, Greece – and we really can’t pick out our favourite country. Each one of them is magnificent in it’s own way, and they all add to the diversity and beauty of the last European oasis of unrestricted overland travel.

Enjoy the pictures just as we’ve enjoyed making them, and join us in living our dreams of freedom in the future. Review them as a YouTube slideshow, or the individual images below it!
