Ranger Odyssey: Dania Petrik

Back to the main story

I am still probably the least experienced 4x4 driver with the least car knowledge, but I have never felt more empowered or invincible than when I crested a sand dune ridge or gravel hill in Ranger!

It can be taken anywhere, traverse any terrain, tackle any mountain, ride through any river, and get there with maximum fuel efficiency and comfort. And that's what matters to me.

I came on the Odyssey with a clear mind, very few expectations, and trusted every minute to unfold as it should. I am leaving with a full heart, a head full of unforgettable memories, and friendships that will last a lifetime.

I have had complete faith in our instructors and absolute trust in our vehicles, and have not for even one moment been let down.

I feel like the luckiest girl in the entire world to have had this insane experience, and to have been able to share it with some of the most awesome people I've ever known.
