Narrado por: Virtual Voice

La Lucha, the sequel to the reader acclaimed, We Will Be Free, is the story of one family's determination to travel the world as professional international overlanders. The story picks up in Ecuador, after the family had successfully solo circumnavigated South America and continues with their dogged determination to drive up to Alaska and across the Americas from tip to tip, coast to coast. The family has had to overcome massive geographic, personal and financial obstacles, in order to achieve their dreams but continue to fight, despite the odds. They discover a strength they never knew they had and have many adventures, as they challenge themselves to the limit of their capabilities to not only survive but prosper. La Lucha demonstrates how, with passion and preserverance, anyone can achieve their dreams.

Very relatable, inspiring and motivating

Most media platforms sensationalize travel and never touch on the reality of being broke, short of resources or moments where you’re f****ed! This book captures the reality of vehicle travel as a whole, the lows and the highs with everything in between and all the great people etc.

Should have stuck to overlanding

While Graham is undeniably one of the great adventurers of our time, I didn’t get his book to hear him take pot shots at American culture, if I wanted to hear what’s wrong with Americans I could have turned on the evening news
