TOP 1 Welcomes Home Josh and Anna |
 Top
1 Oil Products Company is pleased to announce Josh and Anna Hogan have
made Quads Across Africa a success. While their adventure through
Africa was a humanitarian effort to raise money for "Riders For Health"
it became much more. Their adventures took them out of their comfort
zone and tested their perseverance.
Josh and Anna received an
added bonus by breaking the Guinness World Record for "Longest Journey
by Quadbike" when they reached 4,491 miles (7,227 km) travelled.
However, at their journey's end Josh and Anna had crossed 17 countries
and their quads survived almost 17,000 miles (27,359 km) of African
elements. This was also an added bonus for Top 1 Oil as our products
once again proved their endurance through strenuous conditions.
Top 1 Oil is proud to have sponsored Josh and Anna.

Joshua Patrick Hogan
Born March 1st 1975 in Abbottsford British Columbia.
Josh
received a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the California
Maritime Academy. Josh has traveled extensively but only after a near
death experience and a fractured pelvis did Josh decided to pursue his
childhood dream and ride a Motorcycle around the world. It was on this
trip where he met not only his partner but the love of his life, Anna
Gorska.
After traveling and seeing the disparity between our
culture and many others of the world Josh is now trying to give back to
some of the places that have brought him so much joy in life.
Anna Edyta Gorska (Hogan)
Born October 20th 1982 in Jedzrzejow, Poland.
Anna
spent 8 years studying Tourism and Hotel management at Wyzsza Szkola
Zarzadzania Rospodarka Regionalna I Turystyka (a prestigious school in
Poland) Upon completion of her studies she received an internship with
a large resort company on the Greek Island of Corfu. On one fateful day
she met a lone motorcyclist who was in the middle of a journey to ride
around the world and the rest as they say is....history.
To
date Anna has traveled to almost half of the countries in Africa and
because of the many beautiful places and amazing people, it is a place
she will continue to visit for the rest of her life. The biggest lesson
Anna has learned from traveling is how to appreciate the simple things,
and how much we can do for the others. Traveling has showed her how
little, people really need to be happy.
