Follow the 3 Land Rovers and 7 adventure-hungry http://www.odysseyshow.com/exp_team.html team members as they depart from California beginning their yearlong 41,000-mile expedition around the world. Their highly equipped vehicles take them to the far corners of the globe where they find their minds and spirits pushed to the limits.

See the tensions run high in Panama when the team is stuck on the side of the road. Spend New Years Eve in Guayaquil, Ecuador where they explode effigies with the locals and run out of gas in the Atacama Desert in Chile.

Witness their personal meeting with the Dalai Lama in Dharamsala, India, where he wishes the team luck on their journey.

    "When we got to East India, we were under armed guard due to the separatist activity there. At one point, we had 23 guards with machine guns and three armoured vehicles with top-mounted guns with us." - Adam Burgess Producer/Director
