Entertaining article. Now I want to buy a Land Rover so I can have the same kinds of adventures exploring old submarine bases!

Why do you need a land rover? It's located practically within the city. You just get a trip there and that's what you do. Or you can hike. There's also an out-of-service submarine base in montenegro, and you would not need land rover either since it's on island. Balaklava is a nice place btw, didn't visit the museum but liked the town.

  it's a land rover advert though, isn't it. they also sponsor the video.

    Nice for them, but you can't live in an advert. You don't buy a land rover to go exploring (there was this case when it proved suboptimal), you get it to commute - sadly.

  What did you do for the Darién Gap? :)
  - grecy 15y ago
    I loaded my Jeep into a shipping container and had it shipped from Colon (Panama) to Cartagena (Colombia). I flew. I documented the whole process in great detail so others can do the same: http://theroadchoseme.com/shipping-across-the-darien-gap-pt-1 http://theroadchoseme.com/shipping-across-the-darien-gap-pt-...

      How do you afford this?
      - grecy 15y ago
        I saved every penny I had for 2 years working as a Software Engineer. During the trip I freelanced a little, managed a hostel for 5 months, and wound up with the balance on my credit card. I've just finished paying off my Credit Card, so have started saving for the next one. I work full time and am just about to start my 2nd and 3rd concurrent jobs.
