9TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 10 – 19, 2024

#193

High Mile Club

We met through a mutual friend, and after a whirlwind road trip from LA to Seattle early on, our friendship was solidified. Since then, we’ve shared countless road and off-road adventures, international trips, and quirky side quests together, all while embracing our mutual love for adventure.

Over the past year, we’ve been gearing up for the rally by putting in hours at the shop, learning from our mechanics, Squirrel Concepts, honing in our driving and navigating skills, and getting as much field experience as possible.

Ways & Means

Emma Debany

Driver

I try to live life by laughing a lot, following my intuition, and challenging myself. I love swimming, karaoke, and a good thunderstorm.

Occupation:

Comedy TV / Commercial Director

Residence:

Glendale, CA

Favorite Quote:

It is by doing whatever that one becomes whoever.

Fun Fact:

I'm single! and left handed.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I’m doing the Rebelle because it’s the ultimate test of fortitude at the end of a personal journey. My old truck has taught me that perfection is progress. And entering and training for the Rebelle has given me the confidence to know I can take on any challenge I choose.Plus, the Rebelle is the perfect way to enjoy the best of Southern California!

Who, or what, inspires you most?

When I see other people doing something cool and realize it's possible for me to do, too.

Favorite Quote:

“The end is none of my business”

Fun Fact:

I'm really good at clapping (which sounds pretty lame and kind of is). Alsoooo my claim to fame is that I've never seen or read any Harry Potter.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

It was either this or Man vs Wild 😉I thrive on adventure and seize every opportunity to get my hands dirty and learn something new, getting our hands dirty with the truck and learning analog navigation has been the sweetest challenge. Why not now?

Who, or what, inspires you most?

People who constantly show up with love.

Greatest adventure to date?

Went on a last minute solo trip to Bali. A driver I found online the day before picked me up at 2:30 AM the morning of my return flight, and drove me to the foothills of the volcano, before we loaded into a 4x4 to head up the once-active volcano. All without a working phone.
