Dave and Angela have a rich history of adventure and exploration, both individually and as a couple. Dave’s professional background includes serving as a Weapons Engineer and Ships Diver in the Royal Navy, and later working as a Service Engineer in the Oil/Gas and Merchant Shipping industries. Angela, originally from Aberdeen, Scotland, adeptly balanced raising three children with a career as an office administrator.   Their shared love for the outdoors blossomed when they met in Aberdeen, leading to numerous extended trips in Scotland, the Lake District in Northern England and beyond, involving activities such as hiking, camping, mountain biking, and kayaking.   Relocating to Cyprus more than a decade ago, Dave pursued his interest in diving, attaining PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer certification, while Angela achieved the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver certification. They explored the island's diverse landscapes and rich history, in their Land Rover Defender.   A pivotal moment for Dave came in 2006 during a helicopter flight over Namibia’s Skeleton Coast, inspiring a dream to return and traverse its challenging terrain. This dream materialized in 2016, leading to the creation of Polaris Overland, blending his love for adventure, Defenders, camping, and travel.   With their children now independent, Angela and Dave are poised for global exploration, eager to immerse themselves in diverse cultures and landscapes. Angela’s passions for sketching and photography complement their travels, allowing her to document their overland journeys and preserve their experiences vividly. Together, they continue to seek new challenges and adventures, enriching their lives with each expedition.
