Get to Know Us

LET'S GET DIRTY

This is Dirty. A 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 that is in desperate need of some TLC, but full of potential. Wandering Pango is transforming her into a compact overlander and trail-ready 4x4, documenting every step on YouTube.

We’ll get our hands dirty and do much of the work ourselves, but not alone. We are excited to be backed by our anchor partner Opposite Lock, technical partner British4x4 and Front Runner Dometic.

WHO

Dirty is an initiative by Carla & Lida from Wandering Pango. 18 months ago, we swapped the career ladder for a life on the road. A former nuclear plant manager and head of corporate communications who took a bold leap. We quit our jobs in The Netherlands, converted an old Defender into a home on wheels and started travelling through Africa. We're documenting it all on YouTube since November '24.
