GHT Overland - The Overlanding, Adventure Travel Podcast27 Jan 2022

Tim and Kelsey of Dirt Sunrise

Episode #111 - Meeting Tim and Kelsey in person is like reuniting with old friends, even when it's for the first time. It's not often such awesome people cross paths with you, and although it seems to happen more often in the Overland world, Tim and Kelsey are clearly extra awesome. Humble yet bubbling over with an energy for life, you know overlanding is good for the soul.

After meeting up at the NW Overland Rally in 2019, they soon returned to South America to finish their overland adventure to Ushuaia. In this episode we talk about what it was like to reach such an epic destination, their return home as COVID set into our lives, along with their drive North to Prudhoe Bay Alaska. Of course we cover their decision to sell Goose, along with some great insights on their new rig, Dusty.

Enjoy this episode packed with positive energy, insights and stories from one of our favorite overlanding couples in the universe!
