autoevolution's Expedition Vehicles Month

There are two kinds of people on this planet. The vast majority are more than content to settle down in a city, town or village, and live in the same home for years and years, until the end of their lives.  

Obviously, there is nothing wrong with settling down and starting a family since building and being part of communities is an integral part of human evolution. 

On the other hand, there is a different kind of people out there, a small minority, which is either unable to grow roots anywhere or is simply longing continuously to travel and explore the most remote regions of this blue dot in space. 

They are few but they are driven, and no gated community or shopping mall will ever manage to convince them to remain in one place and become sedentary. They are the rule-breakers, the roamers, the explorers of humankind, and each generation has had its fair share of such globetrotters. 

Even though in this day and age most of the planet’s dry land has been prospected and conquered, with borders set in place almost everywhere, humanity is yet to occupy every single square foot of space mostly due to the existence of uninhabitable regions.  

This means nothing for those globetrotters mentioned earlier, whose thirst for exploration is relentless. While all they needed to explore the Earth in the old days was a horse and a cart, modern times have provided them with various upgrades and features for their means of travel. 

Nowadays, if you need to take a prolonged vacation that doesn’t involve planes, trains or boats, all you need to have is an RV, which can be a full-on motorhome or a camper trailer attached behind your own vehicle. 

Neither of those solutions is enough to conquer the most inhospitable lands on our planet, though, and both need additional upgrades to travel unencumbered on most types of terrain.  

This is where expedition vehicles show their might, comprising a niche that has evolved immensely in recent years. They are the equivalent of  small homes on wheels that can go pretty much everywhere, and there are plenty of companies whose raison d’ être is simply making expedition vehicles for the modern globetrotting family. 

It’s for them that autoevolution has decided to dedicate the entire month of August. Whether you simply enjoy learning more about this type of transportation or maybe want to try one for yourself someday, you can switch to autoevolution.com for the latest and greatest in terms of unique go-anywhere expedition vehicles. Remember, getting there is only half the fun!
