The two women were alone in their camper van in the wilderness when they noticed a man walking nearby with a machete in hand. As night fell, the surroundings became shrouded in darkness. Without any electricity or Internet connection in a national park in Honduras, the women grew increasingly paranoid and called the park manager for help.
Ms Susie Chua and Ms Noor Soeb spent about 460 days driving through the Pan-American Highway.ByThe two women were alone in their camper van in the wilderness when they noticed a man walking nearby with a machete in hand.
Overlanding - the word used by enthusiasts - is a type of travel covering vast distances and exploring relatively remote areas over a long period of time. Overlanding travellers, like Ms Soeb and Ms Chua, often get around with large recreational vehicles which double up as affordable long-term accommodation.
The duo first heard of overlanding in 2018 after chancing upon a truck from Switzerland while on holiday at the Borobudur temple in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. While in Nicaragua, they also went canyoning at the Somoto canyon. Canyoning is an outdoor sport that combines rock climbing, hiking, swimming and rappelling.While Ms Chua was initially reluctant to go to the remote destination, she relented on Ms Soeb's insistence, and said Alaska ended up exceeding all her expectations.The drive up to the American state, known for its mountains and sea fjords, was not easy.
Nonetheless, the two women have nothing but awe for the majestic beasts they encountered on that drive.And they took their curiosity for these animals to the next level when they were gifted some meat from a black bear that a local hunter had shot down.
