Una Costa Productions has been fueled by a passion for motorcycle adventure travel, the Pacific Ocean and all things Latin America. On the site you will find a wide array of travel stories and photography inspired by the moto trip south. In 2013 I started south after leaving my University professorship in the United States and began this literary project with hopes of connecting the american continent through bilingual education, literature and literacy. The site is designed to be a collaborative of artists, writers and photographers across North and South America, a community where the political boundaries that separate us are non existent. With a bit more exploring of the site, the reader will find lessons and tips on learning Spanish as well. Beyond these elements of the project, Una Costa Productions seeks to inspire travel via short stories, poetry and photography from the back seat of a KLR 650.
We're Tom & Lucy - riding two up from Mexico to Brazil through 15 countries on a 1970 BSA A65 Thunderbolt. We'll tackle many border crossings, and the highs and lows of doing such an adventure on a classic bike that's nearly 50 years old.

In August 2015 Janet and Scott quit their jobs in New Zealand and set off to visit Janet's parents in Ontario, Canada, stopping in at Buenos Aires, Argentina for Spanish school and some tourism on the way. In Ontario they bought two DR-Z400s and followed the final weeks of the most epic Toronto Blue Jays season in 20 years.
On 20 October 2015 they headed south on their bikes to beat the cold and to discover the Americas.

After completing my trip from Zurich to Singapore via Siberia in 2012 I knew it would not be my last. I have spent almost 3 years saving like crazy to do another cross continental adventure. This time I am riding through South and Central America. I’ll again spend half the time with other people (6 weeks with Motolombia on the Amazon Challenge, and 2 months with my Fiancé Joern Ruders) and the rest of the trip solo. I like to mix it up that way!
I am currently in Orlando Florida and the trip kicks off in full on the 10th August 2015.
I hope you enjoy my blog, cheers Lorraine
