Desk to Glory, Richard and Ashley Giordano

Gaia GPS Offroad

Ashley and Richard Giordano were the picture of success in 2013. The young couple had thriving careers, nice cars, and a comfortable apartment in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia. But, despite the enviably appearances, burnout was brewing dangerously close to the surface. The couple needed a change. A little red 1990 Tpypta pickup truck that was collecting dust in the backyard was all the change they needed. Four months and a few upgrades later, the Giordanos took off on their first major overland trip. The little red truck carried them to South America and then back again, some 48,000 miles. Once back home in Canada, they took their taste for the extreme the other direction, this time traveling to the Arctic Ocean in the middle of winter. In this interview, Ashley and Richard recount their steps from “Desk to Glory," highlighting everything from extreme cold-weather bathroom tips to the evolution of the Giordanos’ iconic rig — Little Red.
