Sinuhe Xavier

Sinuhe Xavier has spent his career at the intersection of adventure, photography, and overland travel. His passion for remote exploration has taken him across continents, capturing the essence of travel through both the written word and the lens of his camera. Sinuhe’s journey has always been about experience over equipment, but he’s driven, tested, and lived with some of the most capable vehicles in the world — Defenders, Land Cruisers, G-Wagens, etc… — pushing them through deserts, jungles, and alpine passes.

Beyond vehicles, his focus is on the culture of adventure — meeting people, documenting landscapes, and telling the stories that inspire others to seek the unknown. When not working on a shoot or writing a feature, you’ll find Sinuhe chasing storms, exploring the Southwest, or planning the next expedition.

A Word From Sinuhe Xavier

I’ve spent my career at the intersection of adventure, photography, and overland travel. My passion for remote exploration has taken me across continents, capturing the essence of travel through both the written word and the lens of my camera.

As an early contributor to Overland Journal, I’ve played a role in shaping the overlanding industry, but my journey has always been about experience over equipment. I’ve driven, tested, and lived with some of the most capable vehicles in the world — Defenders, Land Cruisers, G-Wagens — pushing them through deserts, jungles, and alpine passes.

Beyond vehicles, I focus on the culture of adventure — meeting people, documenting landscapes, and telling the stories that inspire others to seek the unknown. When I’m not working on a shoot or writing a feature, you’ll find me chasing storms, exploring the Southwest, or planning the next expedition.
