GET ON THE ROAD

The pandemic has changed everything that we do and how we view the world. Travel will not be the same for many years, if ever - but, if you haven’t figured this out yet, there is a giant world out there that you can explore while staying safe. Founded on this principle in the summer of 2020, Engine 13 wants to give you the tools to get out there and see the wonderful world for yourself.

Time to get up, get out, and start making memories.

Write your story.

WE REALLY LOVE BEING OUTDOORS

There is nothing better than escaping the hustle and bustle of city life.. waking up next to a creek in Kentucky or a lake in Wyoming is special. Engine 13 can give you the tools to get out on the road and empower you to create the best experiences life can offer. Turn those ideas into your reality.

Get up and get out.

The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
— Alexander Supertramp Mccandless

MEET OUR FOUNDER ZACH.

The pandemic paved the way for Engine 13 Overland.

Zachary Lindeman was born and raised in Cincinnati but has lived all over the USA - most recently calling New York City home for more than 7 years. He founded Engine 13 while living on the road and working remote in the midst of the CoVid-19 pandemic. Due to CoVid, he found his way home to Cincinnati where he acquired an old firehouse in the revitalizing West End to build his adventure vans. 

Currently working as Founder and CEO of Engine 13 Overland, as well as Director of IT for a New York City startup, Zach sees his main business function as “empowering people to do their best work by providing the best in class tools and security to do their job as efficiently as possible”. 

A lot of that can be transferred and said about the founding principles of Engine 13 Overland - to empower you to get out of the house and see the world by providing the tools and ideas to do it. Be it a full blown adventure van build, roof top tent, or just a cooler and well wishes, Zach has lived on the road and knows what it takes to be a successful digital nomad. From the best spots [and worst] to get a decent cell phone signal to some more unknown locations where the stars and night sky make you understand how small we really are. 

Zachary is a self described tech nerd, mountaineer, soccer player, Ironman, traveler and explorer; with a huge love for music, dogs, german cars, and snowboarding. You can find him on a mountain top in Utah, getting lost in the streets of Barcelona, at a World Cup match, at the finish line of an Ironman, or in the pit at a Dave Matthews show. 

He built Engine 13 on the idea that life is meant to be lived. Get up and get out - live in the moment. See things, do things.. Climb that mountain, hike that hike, buy that plane ticket, see that concert..

Please feel free to connect with him on social media or via email: zach@engine13.co, @cincinnatizach, and / or @engine.13

I have never been upset at the chances I have taken, things that I have done or the goals I have chased - only the things I didn’t - Z
