In the Kyzylkum desert between Khiva and Bukhara – Uzbekistan. Home can be pretty much anywhere.
Home is where one feels at home. People have been nomadic hunter-gatherers for the largest part of human evolution. Moving around in search of food and better environmental conditions made up the core of early human existence. The only borders that existed were natural obstacles like deep or wild rivers, inaccessible mountains, uninhabitable deserts or impenetrable forests.
Feeling at home pretty much everywhere, as long as the living conditions were favourable, was the common strategy. This attitude has changed a lot since the dawn of agriculture. In our world today, moving around far and wide is not what you’re expected to do. Many people only feel at home… at home. Which is all right.
Not for me. I’m born with an urge to express what is left of our nomadic past. I can feel at home pretty much anywhere. I actively go in search of beautiful scenery, even if it’s only for one overnight stop. In order to do this, I rely on a custom built Iveco Daily 4×4 expedition camper. It’s compact, comfortable, robust and an extremely capable off-roader.
