What happens when you try to drive the world in £75 cars and a big yellow school bus? 

In this episode of The Adventure Diaries, Chris Watson is joined by Global Convoy founders Max White, Joel & Becca — the adventurous trio who turned a summer road trip idea into a worldwide overlanding community.

From rusty £75 bangers on Gumtree to a Pan-American Highway expedition in a converted US school bus, this episode dives into the chaos, charm, and community of traveling the world on a shoestring.

You’ll hear:
 ✨ The origin story of Global Convoy — how strangers became a family on the road.
 ✨ Why cheap cars = the best adventures.
 ✨  Mishaps, breakdowns & roadside repairs across Russia, Central Asia, and the Americas.
 ✨ Stories of kindness from locals in Uzbekistan, Japan, and South America.
 ✨  The epic Pan-American road trip in a big yellow school bus.
 ✨ How Global Convoy turned into a movement — and how you can join.

This isn’t just a travel story. It’s an adventure about community, resilience, and discovering magic in the unexpected.
