Organizers

Organizers of the Central Asia Rally are veteran explorers and adventure travel professionals of The Travel Scientists.

Attila

Attila is a veteran road warrior with several rallies under his belt. No matter which continent, he completed these mostly with crazy vehicles like an old Soviet Lada or a Hungarian bendy bus as a part of the Bus Number 7 project. He’s the lead organizer of the epic East-European ride, the Caucasian Challenge. He’s raced rickshaws through India and organized things from complicated international motor rallies to fussy corporate clients in his former life as an advertising professional. He’s handling everything from tyrannical border guards to local nomads. Like Indiana Jones he will eat anything.

Gábor

In Vietnam the average age of the combat soldiers was 19. So was his when he got there. The war was over but his fight with the forces of nature has been going on ever since. He used to work as a product designer for a tour operator and he did a lot of back pack traveling in the tropics and subtropics. He sailed around Central America as a seaman and spent 10 years (half school – half diplomacy) in North Africa. He has a crush on climate extremes, like naught or 100% humidity. He’s our key person in organizing the Trans Sahara Run. Sahara is his second home and globetrotting is his way of being.

Aravind

Aravind is the brain behind and the lead organizer of the wildly popular Rickshaw Challenge that races rickshaws all over India. He has also raced in Africa several times and assists with adventure rallies all over the globe.

If it’s got a motor, a bad road and a party at the end you can almost guarantee he’ll have been there at least once.
