We are a family of four embarking on an epic overland journey from Singapore to Saudi Arabia in our Singapore-registered van. Our adventure is not just about the miles we cover, but the experiences and memories we create along the way. The name "3G Family Adventure" represents the three generations traveling together.
Our Family:
Mama - Originally from China, Mama moved to Singapore 20 years ago with her mother. In Singapore, she met Papa through their shared passion for offroad motorcycle riding. Together, we have always cherished exploring new places and embracing the thrill of adventure.
Papa - The head of our family, Papa is an adventurous spirit with a love for the open road. Initially, he dreamed of making this overland trip on a motorcycle. When Mama expressed her desire to join, we considered riding two motorcycles. However, leaving our four-year-old son, Mantou, behind for five months was not an option. Thus, we decided to embark on this journey as a whole family.
Mantou - Our son, whose nickname means 'bun' in Chinese, is a curious and energetic four-year-old. His boundless energy and enthusiasm add a special charm to our travels.
Laolao - Mama’s mother, whom we affectionately call Laolao (a Northern Chinese term for grandmother on the mother’s side), brings wisdom and warmth to our journey. Her presence makes this a true multi-generational adventure.
Our Journey:
This trip is especially significant for us as we have never done Umrah before, and we want to experience it together as a family. Instead of the usual way of flying, we decided to embark on this sacred journey overland. Our route takes us through the historic Silk Road, allowing us to explore the less-visited gems of Central Asia.
We hope to inspire other families who dream of undertaking similar overland trips but haven't had the opportunity. Through our blog, we will share the challenges and triumphs we encounter, offering insights and tips for other adventurous souls.
