About Steve

Steve is 31. He is South African.
He grew up in Namibia and Zimbabwe, at the back of his geologist parents' Landrover, until they settled in Johannesburg.
He spent a few years in England, but missed the African weather, people and landscapes, and came back.
He now lives in Cape Town, where he works as a civil engineer - when he is not surfing, travelling, rock-climbing, or fly-fishing in various part of the world.

Steve chose and found the car, designed its canopy, equipped it, learnt to drive it on any roads (or lack thereof), and is responsible for keeping the engine running.
He has some idea of what to expect along the way - he's done the trip twice before as far as Uganda - and is teaching Caro to enjoy "Africa time". He takes stunning photos, he can name most of the birds we happen to see, and prepares the best potjies ever.

About Caro

Caro is 31. She is French.
She also lived in Mexico and Canada for a few years.
She travelled extensively as a journalist before her job brought her to South Africa. She got friendly with a local and never left...
Now she runs her own business in Cape Town : Kunjani Student Placement Agency. She also teaches History and Geography at the French school.

Caro is responsible for the paperwork and turning Scarlet into a home : she got a bit carried away making check-lists for just about everything, organized our equipment and documents, and this blog.
She loves not knowing what to expect along the way, campfires under African skies, peaceful early mornings with a cup of coffee, hiking, surfing, and eating Steve's potjies.

Schwerthelm

Schwerthelm is our cat.
He doesn't like travelling,
but it's nice to have a picture of him here.

Alberto Boonzilla

Alberto Boonzilla used to be on Caro's key ring.

He likes travelling, so we brought him along, as our mascot.
