It is aways a treat to finally meet with other overlanders that we often message with on Facebook, but have never met in person. Dan (from The Road Chose Me) and his traveling companion Emily (Sheff Doc Photos) camped with us for a couple of nights in Ifrane National Park.


Wtf? How did he hide that?

I don't know that he's mentioned Emily before. Although that means he's got an actual photographer and maybe she's paying for gas.

White woman, huh? That's a great bargaining chip when a war Lord is about to cut your liver out.

It just seems like a big detail to leave unmentioned during the last three weeks.

Oh I agree. It seems he tells the truth the way he sees it. Would make a great politician.

And the description of his webpage says solo journey. Did he buy her in the market?

Didn't realize he had a travel companion- has he mentioned her and I just missed it? Found this pic at smboilerworks - two bikers he hooked up w at the lake... Incidentally they are already on their way across Spain and headed east.


Maybe we should follow the bikers. They've covered dans last three weeks in one blog post.

So she's eating half his food reserve and drinking half his undercarriage water reserve? if he were really on the road with that set up and two people he really would be dead.

Well, other photos in that link show cornfields interspersed with plenty of ganja, they say that area is a huge producer. Looks like the "no gas, no grass, no ass, no free ride" doesn't apply to Miss Emily.

"Blow On", I guess...

That was way more informative than anything he's put out there.

Funny how he is traveling with bikers when he just went on about all the rough terrain and narrow roads he had to traverse. Did they tie the bikes to the top of the jeep?

Well, this is certainly a surprise. I'll say Emily's certainly not as granola looking as I would have expected - but she does have a dude's foot.

I think you are mistaken. She seems to be a Canadian documentary photographer now working in Africa.

The photo looks like the lady on the left.

Maybe our young adventure has fallen in love. Would explain why he is hanging around in Morocco.

Solo as in what he will be once he shoots her knee out and leaves her for bait when being chased by war lords, Shane and Otis style.

I assumed that was her on the left because I can not imagine haul.... well. I just assumed that was Emily on the left and I'll leave it at that.

I'm guessing you are not an off-road biker. Bikes can go through more than just about anything else, except for mud. I've ridden motorcycles in a lot of places that ATVs simply can not go. Mud is a ***** on just about any bike though. Most people don't realize this though and associate dirt bikes with motocross.

Does anyone else wonder how he has all this time to wander off to the middle of the mountains with Emily when he is supposedly working as a tour guide?

I do as I found both her facebook page, which she has posted on since the beginning of June, and couch surfer profile with ease.

I think I missed/neglected his book in all of this. Even taking that into account you'd think that he'd complain about getting fired for being absent from his job, unless he doesn't know he's done with them yet.

She does have some interesting photos of her European trip and road trip to California. Nice taste in friends.

If he is posting that he is working when visiting on a tourist visa, his trip might come to an abrupt end as the Morrocan government escorts him to the next flight to Canada, Australia or wherever he is from (whose date is coming up?)

Did this guy actually drive from Alaska to Argentina alone? Based on this trip, he probably never left Denali NP.
