Border crossings and water crossings can be very stressful for overlanders. The additional steps and paperwork involved in bringing a vehicle across waters or borders can be confusing and nerve-wrecking. As we move along, we’ll list descriptions of crossings that were written by us or by our fellow travellers. We hope that these links are helpful to those who follow our trail.
