Welcome to viajar4WD! We are Travis and Chantil – a couple who decided to pack our lives onto anything with knobby tires and travel the world. Since March 2020 we’ve been living full-time on the road, traveling throughout Europe, north Africa, and North America on our two adventure motorcycles. Most recently, as of April 2025, we’ve started traveling with our overland Jeep Wrangler. Join us as we share videos, blog posts, and photographs in our journey to explore this “pale blue dot” we call home.

Why viajar4WD? The very first country we explored, outside of the United States, was Baja California in Mexico. In honor of this country, and its language, we decided to use the Spanish verb “viajar” which means to travel. “4WD” is short for our beloved Jeep four-wheel drive vehicle or our pair of two-wheeled motorcycles – Either way, we’re traveling on four wheels!
Our Sponsors
It’s been an honor to work with UPSHIFT Online and these wonderful motorcycle companies to include Outback Motortek for their crash-bars and bash-plates, Scorpion EXO for their helmets, and Turkana Gear for their simple, yet rugged, soft luggage. These are all companies that have our utmost confidence because we use their products everyday while full-time overlanding.
2026 Overland Travel Calendar
We’re excited to share our passion for overlanding and photography through another yearly calendar! The 2026 edition features images from our past year of travels across North America—from the vivid landscapes of Mexico to the vast, remote beauty of Alaska, and nights spent camping under a billion stars in southern Idaho.
So many unforgettable places, all wrapped into one inspiring calendar. Order your directly from Lulu.com today!
The Moment Collectors
We are elated to be involved in the latest book from Sam Manicom titled The Moment Collectors which features twenty stories from motorcycle overlanders from around the world. We share a chapter titled “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” which is about life’s progressions, discovering motorcycles later in life, and a moment of elation on a highway in Ireland. Order it at Sam-Manicom.com.
Interviews
Thanks to Jim and Elizabeth for their inspiring podcast – Adventure Rider Radio. We’ve had the pleasure of being a guest on their podcast a handful of times: Secrets of Funding Your Trip, The World is Too Big, Riding the Balkans – The Adventure Continues, Navigating Travel During the Pandemic and The Moment Collectors.
We’ve also been interviewed by Wes Fleming of Chasing the Horizon, Neil of Bionic Bikers, Allan Karl of World Rider, and Stuart of Spain Speaks.
Video Travel Series
We shoot, edit, and produce a YouTube travel channel of our motorcycle adventures. Each episode is different – sometimes we’re carving through curved mountain roads, sometimes we’re riding through the remote backcountry on dirt and gravel roads, other times we’re discovering a unique hike, or visiting an interesting landmark or city. Whatever it is, we’re sharing the adventure!
We are currently editing and producing SEASON 3 – Where we explore the beautiful country of Croatia over three months in the autumn season.
