Driving the PanAmerican Highway in an American School Bus

Global Convoy are looking for adventurers to do something that has never been done before! ...and have a once-in-a-lifetime adventure while doing it!

“The Pan-American Highway is the world's longest motorable road” - Guinness World Records

This will be 6 Months of Global Convoy-style, overlanding adventure along the Pan-American Highway in a US School Bus. A journey through 16 countries over half a year, split into 1 month segments for accessibility

This will be the biggest adventure we’ve undertaken since we drove a £75 car around the world 5 years ago. On that journey we covered about 60% of the Pan-American Highway and ever since we have not stopped talking about returning. We’ve taken all the lessons and knowledge from that trip, worked it into this latest adventure and are now ready to start building a squad to take on this incredible challenge!

Starting July 2023
July - Alaska, Canada and mainland US
August - Mexico, Belize and Guatemala
September - Honduras, Nicarauga, Costa Rica and Panama

October - 1 MONTH BREAK (while we ship the bus)

November - Colombia and Ecuador
December - Peru and Bolivia
January - Chile and Argentina

*And, for those interested, an extension after the finish line through Argentina to Uruguay and Paraguay, finishing in Brazil.

Who is this for?
Anyone looking to learn and explore without getting caught up in tourist traps. Whilst anyone is welcome, this is adventure-travel and the pace, comforts and restrictions reflect that.

Our goal is to get people out of their comfort zones, show them what they’re truly capable of and give them a new perspective on life - all while having a shit ton of fun in unbelievable locations, making a ton of new friends for life and creating enough incredible, shared experiences to last a lifetime. Unsurprisingly, this doesn’t occur whilst having breakfast brought to you in bed in a 5 star hotel.

We encourage people from all walks of life to join. We’ve had 18 year olds fresh out of school through to over 50’s. It’s slightly clichéd, but it’s more about the age of your mindset and maturity than the age of your body.

The most important thing is that you are up for a challenge. There will be good times and there will be tough times, but as long as you’re willing to be a team player and help move the group forward, you’re already a perfect fit!

Interested?

We’re only bringing 15 folks on each month of this adventure and it’s on a first come, first served basis so if you are interested, throw your name in sooner rather than later as once we’re full… that’s it.

Who are the Global Convoy?
We are an adventure travel community that specialise in group overland travel. Our goal is to help people to see the world in such a way that helps and grows them as an individual, benefits the people and places they travel to, makes the world more accessible to everyone and helps the Earth at the same time.

“Years from now, when academics intone about the DIY backlash to a modern society drowning in tech, then the Global Convoy will be cited. In too many travel theatres, long trips of many months are too often described as being only for the older person, retired and solvent and keen to be seen to have all the correct ‘equipment’. The kids from Global Convoy are the new broom and they shovel in rosy-cheeked youthful enthusiasm at its best. No money, no gadgets, no fear —these are the kids your parents warned you about!”

We look forward to meeting you all!
