Why do we do what we do? Because true adventure has shaped us. For over two decades, we’ve explored, learned, and grown — together, as friends and companions. What started as personal overlanding journeys into the wild heart of the American Southwest has become a shared passion: offering exclusive small-group adventure tours designed to create lasting memories.
Our story is not about ticking off sights on a list. It’s about immersive moments that change perspectives. About campfires under the Milky Way, the silence of remote canyons, and the adrenaline of offroad adventures on rugged trails. It’s about community, courage, connection — and the spirit of true overlanding.
We believe true adventure begins where comfort zones end. We stand for shared experiences that challenge, inspire, and create lasting memories. Our mission is to lead you off the beaten path — with exclusive offroad and overlanding tours, always responsibly, safely, and authentically.
THE JOURNEY BEHIND WESTBOUND — PASSION FOR OFFROAD IN THE AMERICAN SOUTHWEST
🎤How did your love for the Southwest begin?
Sascha S.: I grew up dreaming of the Southwest through TV and family road trips. Over the years, my connection deepened – from budget solo travels to emotional journeys with loved ones. Eventually, I met Sascha B., and we found out we shared this burning passion.
Sascha B.: For me, it was the openness, the freedom, the space to breathe – and being able to discover something new every single time. What started as a fascination turned into tradition.
🎤What makes your adventures unique?
Sascha S.: We don’t just travel — we live each moment. We scout, we test, we push the limits of where rented SUVs can go. We’ve learned through flat tires and dead-ends. It’s not about luxury. It’s about connection and discovery.
Sascha B.: We don’t just show places. We help you experience what freedom really feels like out there — surrounded by dust, stars, silence, and shared laughter.
🎤What role does your friendship play in all this?
Sascha S.: We’re more than a team — we read each other without speaking. We’ve had tough moments, made hard calls. Trust is everything out there, and we’ve earned that trust over a decade of adventures.
Sascha B.: Out there, it’s often just the two of us and the wild. We work together seamlessly — one leads, one supports. We know each other’s rhythm. That’s what makes us strong guides.
🎤What do guests take home from your tours?
Sascha S.: They leave with more than memories. They leave changed. Re-centered. Inspired. They rediscover something about themselves.
Sascha B.: It’s not about ticking boxes. It’s about those quiet, powerful moments that stay with you. That’s what real travel is about.
🎤What would you say to someone who feels intimidated by this kind of trip?
Sascha S.: Respect or fear? These are often just words until you take that first step. Growth comes from leaving your comfort zone — and we’re here to guide you, to share what we’ve learned, and to be by your side through it all.
Sascha B.: Respects fuels the best adventures. With the right experience, equipment, and mindset, you’ll discover that those limits are meant to be crossed — carefully, wisely, and with heart.
🎤How do you plan your tours? What do you focus on?
Sascha S.: A balance of strategy and flexibility. We prepare routes, scenarios, and always keep nature’s unpredictability in mind. Safety is key — but so is the space for spontaneity and magic.
Sascha B.: We work with top-tier equipment and remain adaptable. Our tours are planned with room to breathe, to respond to conditions, and to honor the spirit of true adventure.
