Team Team Dixie Chicken Bus

Misfit of society obsessed with seeing what lies beyond the horizon. Being to stubborn to quit or to dumb to know better I stumbled through the 2010 Mongol Rally and the spring 2011 Mototaxi Junket,ruining 2 perfectly good team mates along the way. In 2012 I was sent an invite to pioneer the first Ice Run. Despite days of sub zero temps and towing another team for hundreds of Kilometers the Ice Run came to a close at the Arctic circle. Not long after surviving the mother of all adventures I had the opportunity to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the MR by joining 10 veterans and 6 newcomers on the Team Dixie Chicken Bus. A short yellow school bus that has since circumnavigated the globe. The Adventurists, who are known to have the attention span of an average 7 year old, decided the old Ice Run was perhaps a bit tame so once again I was off to re Pioneer the 2015 Ice Run at Lake Baikal. At the Annual Adventurists Conference, in London, "Adventure 10" was unveiled and attendees were offered the chance to ride Monkey bikes across the Sahara desert. Yup, you guessed it, I'm off to Morocco to attempt something that can only be described as just plain stupid. Obviously, I have serious metal issues and should seek proper treatment.Guessing that will not happen any time soon short of a court order.

Survived the mototaxi junket and thought, damn, we gotta do another one of these things! Hop aboard the Dixie Chicken bus to Mongolia!

I'm Dave and I'm a travel addict... 50 countries on 6 continents and counting. What will I bring to the team? Well aside from youth, dashing looks and British charm I'm pretty good at befriending police officers before they try to scam us out of cash and i'm not bad at sourcing alcohol in dry countries! I'm riding the bus to the Ukraine and then I'll figure out how to get home when I get there. Planning ahead isn't my strong point, flying by the seat of my pants is!

Sometimes its better to be interesting than to be right

We're in! Countdown to July 13th 2012.

Hi my name is Tommy and this isn't my first meeting, I am recovering 2012 rally-holic. My favorite travel food is Nutella and Peanut Butter Sandwiches and water..... lots of water (the desert can be tough).

I am handy with a wrench, I can make fuel lines out of toilet plumbing, and a professional student for the last 6 and half years while I finish out my phd.

I'd say if you asked me for a quote, just try making it through life without killing anyone. Yeah, I think that does it, just try to be one of those good people few and far between (I think I just had a conversation with myself..... :) )

I'm a paraplegic, meaning i can't feel or move anything from the chest down ;( This happend 15 years ago and i now live life to the full, more so than before! I want to do this challenge to prove just cause your in a wheelchair life don't have to stop!
I did the 2012 Mongol Rally with 2 other paraplegics and now have the 'Bug' to travel/see the world again! So when this opportunity arose to join Team Dixie Chicken Bus 2013, how could i refuse!
Life is what you make it, you can sit and moan each day, or you can live it to the full ;-)
