Remembering Matthew and Stacey of Toyota World Runners – A Heartfelt Farewell to Two Adventurers

Sad news has reached us from across the ocean, and it has left a heavy mark on the global overlanding, RVing, and off-road community. Today, we at KhakiBush Magazine pause to remember Matthew and Stacey of @ToyotaWorldRunners, a YouTube couple whose fearless travels and genuine storytelling touched thousands around the world.

From New Zealans majestic mountain to remote South American trails, Matthew and Stacey’s journey was more than a travelogue — it was an open invitation for all of us to live with courage, curiosity, and a deep love for the road. Through their videos and photography, they captured the raw beauty of nature, the challenge of the trail, and the joy of waking up somewhere completely new.

Their adventures were never about simply ticking off destinations. They were about chasing sunsets in the desert, cooking under the stars, and meeting people whose kindness transcended borders. Each video was a reminder that the spirit of exploration isn’t just about where you go, but how you choose to experience the world along the way.

Tragically, their travels came to an end after a fatal accident, a loss that is deeply felt across the global adventure community. Friends, followers, and fellow explorers mourn the absence of their warmth, humour, and adventurous energy. Their legacy will live on — not only in the breathtaking landscapes they captured, but in the inspiration they sparked in countless others to embrace life’s journey with open arms.

RIP Matthew & Stacey. The roads and trails ahead will never be quite the same without you.
