About Us

Storyteller Overland began as a sketch on a restaurant napkin in 2017, illustrating a vision to help people live more adventurous lives. What started with skepticism and a small team of seven in 2018 has grown into a thriving company building world-class overland expedition vehicles. We’ve celebrated milestones like 500, then 1,000 vans built, expanded our lineup, and cultivated a massive community of adventurers. Our best ideas are still ahead, and we’re excited for the next grand adventure.

We foster a values-based culture focused on transformation rather than rules, creating workplaces where great people can thrive both professionally and personally.
