Built from bad ideas.
No Plan Club exists for people who choose a bad idea and enough guts over a neat itinerary. We have been doing this for years, across continents, on the wrong vehicles, with no support crew and no good reason. Most of it should not have worked. That is exactly why it did.
You don't need a plan.
You need a bad idea and enough guts to follow through.
No guides. No hand-holding.
Just you, something too small, and a road that goes way too far.
This did not come from a brainstorm.
No Plan Club was not invented in a meeting. It came from years of wrong turns, ridiculous vehicles, long roads, broken plans, and the kind of decisions that look stupid right up until they become the best story of your life.
Your own mess.
The idea is simple. We have lived this kind of trip ourselves, and now we want to hand you the keys to one of your own. Not cleaned up. Not over-explained. Not padded with fake comfort.
The idiots behind it
Michael Simionato
Serial adventurer. Unreasonable track record. Exactly the kind of person who should never be trusted with a map and will still somehow get you there.
He crossed Vietnam twice on two wheels, first on a 110cc relic from the eighties and then again from top to bottom on an enduro. He also completed the Rickshaw Run 2026 across India on a three-wheeled machine that was very clearly not designed for the job.
Before that came two years in a 4x4 across Australia, Indonesia on two wheels, Colombia on an enduro that kept shedding parts, plus a longer list of buses, cattle trucks and trains than any normal person should be proud of.
If there is an unlikely road, he has probably already spent a night on it.
Francesco Perez
Videomaker. Storyteller. The one who knows how to document chaos without sucking the life out of it.
He has worked extensively across India producing content for a music run under conditions that would normally make most production crews go home early. He also completed the Rickshaw Run 2026, which says a lot about either discipline or poor judgement.
He is the reason Vietdumb Race will produce content worth watching. He is also the reason the whole thing will not dissolve completely into logistical entropy five minutes after the start.
He turns chaos into story without cleaning it up too much.
No guides. No hand-holding.
The whole point is that you get something real. Not over-managed. Not padded. Not flattened into a safe little product page version of adventure.
A logical consequence.
The file says No Plan Club is the logical conclusion of a long sequence of stupid decisions that turned out to be the right ones. That feels about right.
Now it is your turn.
We already did the dumb part. You just have to show up and make your own version of the mess.
