10TH RALLY EDITION: OCTOBER 8 – 18, 2025

#154

Team CHAOS

We have both competed for 4 years in the Navigation seat. Knowing each other over the years we have always gotten along great. Rori had the opportunity to drive her 4Runner in the rally but did not have a navigator. Renee’s name was thrown around by a couple people and timing was perfect.

Favorite Quote:

Be the person your dog thinks you are.

Fun Fact:

When I grow up, I want to own a dog sanctuary where young and senior dogs can live their best life!!

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

I have competed 4 times now and I would compete every year if I could. I learn new things about myself every year that I can apply to my every day life and also get to meet some pretty awesome people.

Who, or what, inspires you most?

There are so many people that inspire me that I cannot name just ONE. I have a few that inspire me daily to be a better me but anyone who pushes themselves out of their comfort zones, continues to set goals to make themselves better in any way, anyone who does something even though people told them they couldn't. I believe I meet people all the time that inspire and trigger a in drive in me to always live life to its fullest and be the best me.

Greatest adventure to date?

Other than the Rebelle... My husband Erik and I took our dog Irie and went on a road trip through CA, OR, WA, ID, MT, UT AND NV. We had our truck, a pull behind pop up tent and just the necessities. It was a perfect amazing adventure with some of the best memories.

Favorite Quote:

I'd rather fail trying than to regret having not tied. After all there in my mind failure is just a first, second or 330th attempt. Who's counting?

Fun Fact:

My first career was in underwater commercial photography.

Why the Rebelle? Why now?

Once you know you cant un-know. The Rebelle will change you in many ways. Many of which you can't imagine. It's a privilege, a blessing and the biggest challenge all at once. Besides, who wouldn't want to disconnect from the world of screens, emails, texts, phone calls, tweets, stories and posts to go see some of the most amazing landscape mother nature has created. All while surrounded by an incredibly, remarkable group of women from all over the world.

Who, or what, inspires you most?

The fear of growing old with regret of not having tried is what motivates me to take advantage of any and all opportunities that come my way. To push and strive beyond what I perceive to be my limits so that I can truly feel where [they] are.

Greatest adventure to date?

Traveling to Some of the remote places I was able to dive during my photo career. The people I met on these tiny, islands who had never seen a white, blonde haired woman. Who live the most peaceful lives...
