Time and again we encounter unexpected situations and see unconventional means of travel. It is a journey that constantly takes us into unknown realms. And so I meet Frank, a man of unusual charisma, who is driving an equally unusual off-road bus with space for 24 passengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Hello Frank,&#8221; I greet the friendly man who has driven this bizarre off-road bus from Germany to Morocco. &#8220;Are you the owner of this impressive vehicle?&#8221; I ask, pointing to the beautiful truck, which looks like it&#8217;s straight out of a nostalgic African movie. &#8220;No, I&#8217;m not the owner, but I&#8217;ve been part of this crew since 1989 and have already survived three changes of ownership. I&#8217;ve been taken on again and again and act as driver and tour guide for this group.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>&#8220;Do you really take your guests around the world in rooftop tent buses?&#8221; &#8220;Not the whole world, but we&#8217;ve been almost everywhere and visited many remote places on our planet,&#8221; he replies in a friendly manner. &#8220;And do the travelers actually spend the night in the tents upstairs?&#8221; I ask, pointing to the twelve tents stretching skywards on the roof of the bus. &#8220;Yes, the sleeping areas are up there. As the tents are permanently mounted on the roof of the bus, we save a lot of time each day setting up camp for the night, which allows us to spend more time with our guests as guides.&#8221; &#8220;That sounds really fascinating. Would you like to give me a closer look at the vehicle (basic vehicle Mercedes 1422 truck, built in 1989)?&#8221; I ask curiously, whereupon Frank willingly shows me everything inside and out and explains it in detail&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>\n          <strong>Here is the link to the video:<\/strong>\n        <\/p>\n\n          \n\n          <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n            <div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Seit 1989 mit Overland-Dachzeltbus um die Welt - \u00dcbernachten in den Wolken und Roomtour.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Y2Jc0xvWkts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n          <\/figure>\n          \n\n        \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spend the night in the clouds We have been on our &#8220;Great Journey&#8221; for 33 years now.
