A window to the world
For Mathieu and his family, "the world is certainly not how we imagine it", and that’s why they decided to go and see for themselves.
Their trip aboard Rolando, a Defender 110 SW, will be a view of the world. They are leaving for two years to discover the planet. To capture and marvel its wonders and encounter its habitants.
Why "Yellow beacon"? Simply because the beacons indicate their route and yellow is the colour of the sun and joy!
An autonomous world tour in a 4x4.
