Hi, we are Cindy and Benni.

We are living a worldwide nomadic life in our 4×4 (called Rosinante) full of adventures of any kind. Mostly about mountaineering, climbing, hiking, living in nature, meeting people and the nomadic life in general.

We started our journey separately at the end of 2021 and mid 2022 from Germany. One of our biggest and greatest adventures is, that we have met during our travels and now stick together since (mid 2023).

I’m (Benni) writing this blog and because it’s easier we keep the name benni.rosinante.blog. But you may think of it as bendy.rosinante.blog.

Rosinante is the name of our home. A Toyota Hilux offroad pickup with an Das Fernweh-Mobil camper cabin on her back.
Rosinante is named after the martian corvette-class light frigate in the novel series “The Expanse“. And this spaceship in the novels is named after the horse with the name “Rocinante” of Don Quixote. Because I don’t like the pronunciation of the English Rocinante, I take the German Rosinante (it sounds like this).
And there is even more about this name including inferior horses, philosophy and some other guy who was overlanding with his Rosinante some time ago. Maybe I will write something about that in the future.
