“The Book of Independence works its magic like a bellows on the embers of wanderlust, inspiring us to break away from the norm, to slow down and smell the proverbial roses… or cow or elephant dung. It’s not about what you’ll do after you retire, it’s about what you do before you die.”
Chris Collard, Chief Editor, Overland Journal Magazine
“They’re intent on completing their round the world trip in 10 years and, possibly, to invent whatever excuse afterwards to remain in motion”
Lonely Planet Magazine
“They’ve lived through everything… from elephant attacks provoked by getting too close to a herd with calves to getting shot at in Ethiopia.”
TVE, Spanish Television daily news
“Pablo and Anna are genuine. Their vision is a simple one, without pretense, that offers the rest of us the option to attain our own dreams, no matter how deep. Pablo y Anna, bravo y buena ruta.”
Cemil Alyanak, Excess Noise, Washington DC
“The book is hard to put down. Pablo’s writing somehow manages to intimately connect the reader to these far away unfamiliar places with their diverse landscapes and cultures. If you love adventure, travel and delving into the human spirit found in far away cultures ‘The Book of Independence’ is a must read.”
Bryon Dorr, Exploring Elements
“We’re just back from a 3,200-mile overland trek through Labrador and Newfoundland, Canada. Though there were a lot of black flies and mosquitos, we also came across a one-of-a-kind bug on the road, La Cucaracha. We were so surprised to meet Pablo and Anna that day, as they could have been everywhere on the planet. I read Pablo’s book on the way home. With the sunset on the Atlantic Ocean, and dreaming about our next adventure, I thought to myself that this moment gave a magical touch to a trip that was already perfect.”
Jean-Francois Babin, Quebec, Canada.
“We are very much enjoying your book! Your stories are wonderful, and really capture what overlanding is all about. Thank you!”
Roseann Hanson, Overland Expo founder
“I loved your book. I love the image of Anna Amazon Woman chasing off the pursethief with her power. Safe and joyful travels to you.”
Elise and Wolf, California
“I miss you guys. You are a true champion in freedom.”
Mike Bellamy
“When I pick up a book, I hope that the pages that are about to reach my eyes are ones of treasure, ones of inspiration. I want to be transported into the world of the writer as they share their story through their mesmerizing words, those of wisdom, strife, and adventure. Reading a title such as this already takes you to the front step, and Pablo Rey’s enchanting tale does the rest. You hear of so many stories about the race to travel and it leaves you wondering… What happens when you stop running and just be? To take a whole adventure, and make it your whole life? The definition of ‘exploring’ doesn’t even begin to cover it. Pablo takes you through a whole new transformation into a world that the English language barely has words to define. I can only imagine what it would be like to be a fly in Pablo’s brain as, even translated into English from Spanish, his words are so artistically magical, that it is impossible not to whisk you away into this alternate universe.”
Sarah Blessington, Exploring Elements
“I loved this book. Pablo has such a unique writing style, and my, what an adventure! Highly recommended for all the dreamers out there.”

READ MORE PABLO AND ANNA REAL TRAVEL STORIES IN THIS LINK
Pablo Rey (Buenos Aires) and Anna Callau (Barcelona) also known as #viajeros4x4x4, have been overlanding the world non stop since 2000 on a 4WD Delica van. They mastered the art of solving problems (breakdowns and police harassment, between them) in far away places, while enjoying their nomadic lifestyle.
They’ve been 3 years driving through Middle East and Africa, between Cairo and Cape Town; 7 years all around South America, and 7 years going to every corner of Central and North America. They crossed the Southern Atlantic Ocean in a fishing vessel, descended an Amazon river in a 6 log wooden raft, and walked with a swiss knife between elephants in wild Africa. On the last two years they started to travel by foot (Pyrenees mountains coast to coast, two months) and motorbike (Asia), with the smallest lugagge possible.
Pablo has written three books in Spanish (one translated in English), many articles to magazines like Overland Journal and Lonely Planet and both are in the short list of the most respected latino overlanders.
¿When will the journey end? It doesn’t end, the journey is life itself.
