🎙️ Episode 1 - Introduction

Welcome to the very first episode of the San Francisco Overland Podcast, where adventure meets real stories from the trail.

We’re Steven and Susie, two explorers from opposite sides of the world, the Pacific Northwest and the UK, who met, connected over a shared love for the outdoors, and started building something special: San Francisco Overland. What began as a passion for overlanding, gear, and the freedom of the open road has turned into a growing community and now, this podcast.

In this debut episode, we’re taking you behind the scenes to share how it all started, our backgrounds, what brought us together, and how San Francisco Overland came to life. We’ll talk about the highs, the learning curves, and the real reasons we keep chasing the horizon.

This podcast is more than just talk about trucks and tents. It's about the people, places, and moments that shape us when we leave the pavement behind. Whether you're a weekend warrior, full-time traveler, or just starting to dream about your first trip, we're glad you're here.

So let’s get down to the nitty gritty and kick off this journey together.
