Hi, my name is Marius and I’m situated in South Africa. I strive to carefully curate the articles and products I offer for sale on this website. I do this when I find something that would be of value and that’s relevant. Primarily, I focus on writing relevant and informative articles. You can read them if you’re interested in independence. These articles are also for those interested in digital nomad lifestyles, freelance work, or side hustles.
The world has been changing over time. The WEF global risk report for 2025 indicates that we’ll be facing ongoing concerns for a while. This has led me to think about independent living and independent income generation. These should be free from politics, both local and global. I am considering self-sufficiency, sustainability, and freedom of movement. This freedom allows us to explore and experience the world around us, both nature and otherwise.
This need and focus on independent living, thinking, and sustainability inspired the creation of the Oryx Trail Company. Over time, articles will start to be published here. They will discuss a wide range of topics relevant to independence seekers worldwide.
I aim to help you generate your own income and live as efficiently as possible. Physically, we’re located in the Karoo and take inspiration from the Karoo wildlife and landscape. The theme of this site is inspired by the often underestimated yet diverse and beautiful Karoo nature of South Africa. This nature stretches from our west coast to our east coast.
