mongol rally stickers

I had envisioned this for over a year.  A regular car with stickers all over it as if it were NASCAR.  There’s something very liberating about doing what you are not supposed to do.  Plastering the perfectly good little car in stickers is normally against the rules, but in the Mongol Rally, it’s expected!

In the middle of Central London, we were vandalizing our little Mongol Rally car, and only one person who walked by actually asked what we were doing.  You gotta love big cities where everyone minds their own business.

This article is part of the Mongol Rally Series

The Mongol Rally is an unsupported road rally from London, England, to Ulaan Baatar, Mongolia. In July 2011, four well-traveled, and some may say crazy, travel bloggers set out on a 10,000-mile journey to Mongolia. This was no fluff press trip…this was us against the open road, in a car that was not meant to be driven to these lengths.

However, when one of the men who parked near us was paying his parking meter, he looked at us in a questioning manner; I said to him, “We’ll be over to do your car next.”  I don’t think he was too amused.

We also gave packing a test run, and that wasn’t nearly as fun as placing the stickers on the car.  In fact, it was rather stressful.  The bags fit in like a complex jigsaw puzzle with not one extra room of space.  It doesn’t bode well for our long journey, but we’ll get through it somehow!

Thanks to all of our sponsors, we had fun placing all of your stickers!

  2. I know this article is old, but how did you guys meet? Did you know each other before being travel bloggers or just be networking?
    Anyways I will be crawling through your archives as I will go to Mongolia soon :).

    1. We didn’t know each other very well before at all. We knew each other digitally and professionally. And the people dynamics during the rally was definitely the hardest part! But we made it!
