Paulina On the Road

Through travel, language, and storytelling, I explore the connections between cultures. The encounters, stories, and shared experiences that remind us we have more in common than we sometimes realize.

Hey!

I'M PAULINE.

Born and raised in Luxembourg, but my curiosity took me far beyond its borders. I studied and lived in different European cities, crossed the Atlantic by boat (why not?), spent more than a year in Cape Verde, and continued my journey through places like Iraq, Yemen and UAE. Now I’m driving overland from Luxembourg to the Middle East in my Toyota Hilux, and sharing the stories of the people I meet along the way.

I bought an expedition truck with zero experience

I’m starting a completely new adventure: preparing a Toyota Hilux for a big overlanding journey, with zero overlanding experience and just one month to get everything ready! Will everything be ready before departure?
