Hey, welcome to “Ein Lux auf Reisen”
which means “a lux while travelling"!
On this website you can look at pictures of our offroad trips, get technical advice and tips to our trips.
Unfortunately, it’s not possible to translate the whole website into English but we’ll provide you the important information here in short form.
Our vehicle is a Toyota Hilux, model year 2010. We built the cabin on its back by ourselves in spring 2019.
When Hanjo started going offroad he had a Mitsubishi L200 with a roof tent. This roof tent moved on to our Toyota in 2012 and only two years later the Toyota had the first self-made cabin on its back. The old cabin had a few defects so we built a new one which is now on the Hilux.

Now some information about us:
We’re Linda und Hanjo from Germany - “Nordhorn” to be precise. Hanjo works as a firefighter and Linda is a middle school teacher. Both are very experienced travellers. Hanjo went on a four months trip around Asia in 2015. He travelled Iran, Uzbekistan, Turkey, Mongolia and some more countries with the Hilux.
Linda travelled to India in 2011 and worked there at an elementary school and a kindergarten. After her studies she travelled around south-east Asia for two months (Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand) by plane and ship with her backpack.
In 2016 we did our first trip together. We travelled across Austria, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine and Poland in about ten days. Last summer (2019) we went on a trip around the Baltic Sea. From the Baltic States we went to Russia and crossed the border to northern Norway. There we stopped at the North cape before going south through Finland. Finally we took the ferry from Helsinki back to Germany.

Our biggest project so far was an around-the-world-trip (Summer 2021-Summer 2022).
We shipped the car to Cape Town. From there, we travelled for six months across the southern part of the African continent (South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya).
From Mombasa, the Lux travelled in a container on a ship to Oman. From there, we travelled for another three months across the Arabian Peninsula (Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Iraq, Iran). We travelled to Iran for four weeks via Iraq. We travelled through Armenia and Georgia on our way to Turkey. From there we travelled back home. In total, we travelled for a year.
Stay tuned and all the best Linda & Hanjo
