Mini bio

How it started.

Lucas traces his interest in filmmaking to his father’s holiday videos. He began experimenting with his father’s old camcorder, learned through trial and error and YouTube tutorials, and initially posted videos with music but no narration.

Finding their format.

A gap year in Australia gave Lucas and Anna a taste for off-road travel in a Mitsubishi Challenger. Adding voice-over and turning that year into a long documentary helped their videos find an audience. Their Australia film, published in December 2017, follows a 35,000 km journey.

Roads worth following.

Under the name Rugged Roadtrips, the couple make documentaries and travel guides about remote adventures. Their films combine practical route details with wildlife and hiking. The Grand Norwegian Roadtrip, released in 2022, became one of the channel’s most-watched films, following a 72-day journey from Norway’s south to its far north.
