Overland Bound
Ambassadors and
local experts
The people who know firsthand how adventure changes lives, and who show the way down roads less traveled.
Meet the Team
The Overland Bound Ambassador and Local Expert team are the first to help out in any situation on the trail. They leave every place better than they found it, and they share what they know so others can travel dirt roads safely and explore paths unknown.

David Spinks
International Ambassador · Global Explorer
OB# 3057
Dave traveled the world during a career in the Royal Navy as a weapons engineer and ship's diver. The overlanding bug bit in 2006, on a helicopter flight over the Skeleton Coast of Namibia.
