About us:
We're Jack & Megan, and in late 2020 we sold our belongings and packed our lives into our 2005 Toyota Troop Carrier to travel Australia. Our original plan was to complete a full lap of Australia and return home to Perth to resume our 'normal' lives. We decided we wanted to document our lap for the future and began sharing weekly travel vlogs of our life on the road and fell in love vlogging, filmmaking and sharing our lives with you. We completed our first lap and couldn't imagine living any other way so we decided to continue travelling and calling the Troopy home. We have gone on some crazy adventures since then and it is all thanks to you tuning in to join us every week.

Thanks for taking us along for the ride, it has been a great adventure. I'm sure the Troopy will have a great life with the new owner. I do understand how you were feeling, my Triton that I have had from new for over 13 years is off to a new home this Tuesday. It has been a labor of love setting it up as capable tourer and taken us some great places. I will miss the trusty Tri as much as you will the Troopy, but the great memories will last. New adventures await us all. Good luck with the next chapter of your journey.
