Bjørn, Anders and Torleif has been on trips before but this is going to be the furthest by far. The distance we are going to travel is 9000 km. We have known each other for at least 20 years. Here is some background info:
Anders lives in Lierskogen, Norway, with his three boys, the dog Simba and a cat. He is 49 years old and has been passionate about cars and engines his whole life. There is not a tool that this man does not have in his garage. Someone once said that if you know how many cars you have, then you have too few. Anders lives by this motto.
Anders has experienced a lot in his life from being with his parents in Botswana, serving with the UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon and Macedonia. Living a full year in Namibia (2010) and traveled around the world. He has been CEO and Managing Director for several companies. Anders is very passionate about people and he is always forthcoming, giving and generous. For Anders there is never a challenge that is too big to overcome. He is always positive and he goes to the extreme in helping others. He is truly a likeable person with the right skillset for this trip.
