Xu Guangda and his wife Ma Hui have completed their self-driving tour of 34 countries with their 7-year-old daughter in the past five years.

In order to realize his dream of cycling to Tibet, Xu, 36, quit his job in a State-owned enterprise in Qitaihe, Heilongjiang Province, in 2011.

"At the beginning, I couldn't back him, I was unable to stop him because he was so determined to begin his tour," said Ma. "After starting his tour, he would send me photos every day and let me know everything was fine."

Gradually, the beautiful sceneries Xu captured made Ma yearn for travelling.

Therefore, Ma also quit her job as a civil servant in 2013 and they decided to travel around the world.

They bought a second-hand mobile home and began to modify it themselves.

After completing the full preparations for the trip, they began in September 2013.

"We didn't have much money and we earned some money from those who hitched a ride on our car on the way," Ma said. "And in order to save money, we usually cooked food ourselves."
