OUR STORY

2000-2018

Our journey together has been nothing short of extraordinary – from the confines of university classrooms to the depths of world-class dive sites. After working regular jobs for a period, we yearned for something else, a life immersed in the underwater realm. So, we traded our 9-5s to become instructor dive guides, embracing a f’underwater existence. After a decade below the waterline, we hung up our fins, sold the house, and embarked on an audacious adventure. Boarding a container ship after passing my test, we set sail across the Atlantic. Over four and a half years, we clocked 80,000 miles from Argentina’s southernmost tip to the rugged peaks of Alaska until we ran out of road. We took in Antarctica’s icy embrace to the untamed wilderness of the Arctic, trading the life conventional for the ride of a lifetime.

2018-2023

After years of motorcycling, we underwent a travel metamorphosis, diving headfirst into the world of 4WD overlanding. Our hard work culminated in creating White Rhino, our beloved 2015 Toyota Hilux, meticulously outfitted for this new chapter. From the enchanting Scottish landscapes to the pristine Nordic countries, we embarked on a journey across quiet pieces of the planet. In all seasons, we braved the sublime craziness of Iceland and sunk into the Arctic’s unforgiving winter for an unforgettable experience. Our transition from motorcycles to 4×4 was a leap of faith that opened up a comfortable world of extended off-grid exploration, often lifting the roof off our brains!

2023 – TO DATE

Despite the arduous payouts of big-distance riding that made the Americas bike trip tough, the tough is what made it so great. Euphoric, even. This is why we’re on a new trip called the Mega Transect astride KTM 500 EXC Fs. Making a square, we’re riding from North America to South America, negotiating the African continent, through Europe, and back to the UK. I’m indebted that Jase and I are pulling in the same direction after over 20 years, knowing where our hearts currently lie. That is, to imbibe everything an unconstrained, two-wheeled life has to give. Join us as we share our escapades, the phenomenal highs and transformative lessons learned along the way.

A throng of tourists milled around. It was your unusual untidy ragbag of a group, gaudy jumpers, open-throat shirts and creased clothing beneath a sea of excitable faces, a rainbow of complexions, all agog to peer down. One rather buff looking guy in a snug fitting t-shirt caught my eye and reminded me of Clive […]

ABOUT US

Lisa

Travel writer

I find immense joy in diving and embarking on epic through-hikes for those awe-inspiring views. However, my love for off-road motorcycle riding is just as profound. As a champion for female riders in a rapidly growing market, I may not have been born with natural riding skills. Still, I am living proof that you can obtain your license, hop on two wheels, and venture anywhere near or far. It’s incredibly empowering.

The allure of the outdoors is just as strong as my passion for writing about it. Like Jason, I need a creative outlet that resonates deeply, and I am grateful that my words keep the fuel flowing. My side hustles on the trails are complemented by rewarding collaborations and partnerships in the world of gear. Together, they propel me on this exhilarating path.

Jason is an avid adventurer, drawn to the exhilaration of off-road journeys that lead to the hard-to-reach, hidden destinations. For him, the perfect ending to a day on the road is pitching a sleeping bag next to a crackling campfire, surrounded by untamed wilderness.

With an infatuation for vast open spaces and capturing the essence of light, photography has been his insatiable passion since the age of 14. Evolving his globally published portfolio in adventure travel, landscape, wildlife, and underwater photography, Jason is not only a talented photographer but a drone pilot and videographer, too.
