TransAm overlanders: meet the Malessas

We give free attendance to anyone on a RTW or TransAmerica/s journey. We’ll be posting them here. Search for the tag Overlanders at the Expo to see them all. “We are a couple from Australia and in 2012/13 we will be making the trip of our lifetime, both of us riding along the Pan American Highway. We are very excited—only 99 days to go. The first part of our journey is N.Y, L.A, Seattle, Alaska Marine Highway, Prudhoe Bay and then down to Ushuaia. Friends of us discovered the Overland Expo, we were very excited to participate and get first-hand information. And It fits perfectly into our plans.” – Bjoern & Sigrid Malessa
