MAVERICK ROVER WORLD TRAVELS

From April 2, 2018 to January 2, 2020 (21 months) we traveled internationally for approximately 17 months or 80% of the time.  While traversing roughly 50,000 miles, we enjoyed exploring 10 amazing international countries where we explored multiple cities and destinations:

Spain, England, Ireland, Scotland, 
Mexico, Argentina, Uraquay, 

Hungary, Czech Republic, 
Germany and more Mexico

The remaining 20% of that time frame (a little over 4 months), we traveled to 7 US States, 
while visiting family and friends. 

We truly loved our MRW journey and lifestyle. 

We look forward to much more global travel in the future.

In April of 2019 while we were in 
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 
we bought our new home VILLA VIMO in 

Palm Springs, CA.

January 2, 2020, our planned break from MRW travel began with our return to the desert and 
our new home VILLA VIMO.

The last, approximate 3 1/2 months, we have been outfitting our new home with furniture and all of the other stuff that people who own homes require to make life comfortable. We have also completed some upgrades and repairs that compliment our casual lifestyle.

Upon our return home, we had planned, at a minimum, to enjoy our new home and the desert until at least May or June before returning to Europe. Now, with the current health risks here and around the world, we have postponed all future MRW Travels. 

Stay tuned for details about our future travels as they eventually develop.
