Travel doesn’t just take you places—it stretches your mind and redefines what you believe is possible.

he call to adventure rarely arrives with fanfare. It creeps in—sometimes in response to restlessness, sometimes in quiet reflection—and once it grabs hold, it refuses to let go. I recognize it instantly. I can spot a story from a mile away, and my insatiable curiosity kicks in the moment we pull into our first roadhouse in Balladonia. Parked next to us is someone I can already tell is remarkable. I’m thrilled to introduce you to our new friend: Gulsah Merve Yuksel

Today, we find ourselves driving the legendary Eyre Highway—a ribbon of asphalt laid down in 1941 to connect Perth in the west with Adelaide and Melbourne in the east. Stretching across one of the longest uninterrupted roads in the world, this desolate beast rolls through a landscape dotted with hardy Eucalypt and Saltbush.

An interesting aspect of epic adventures often focuses on who’s driving the shared narrative.

Today unfolded as one of those days. We simply packed the truck and hit the open road, setting out on what’s aptly named the Great Ocean Drive.
