From the UK to Australia and back - sort of. Plan? What plan?
During one trip to Nova Scotia on motorbike, Autumn and Adam stopped and asked each other how to keep this trip going. The solution was simple, Lose the debt, lose the goods, and set the priorities. Three years later, they are well on the way. Keep track of their findings and adventures on No Map Nomads, Half logistical, Half Philosophical.

Heading north from Australia, following the sun - with the rain following us.
Being both motorcycle riders with a love for travelling, we talked about touring the world on bikes about two years ago. After looking into logistics/constraints and places we wanted to explore, we decided to tour the Americas from Alaska, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina. We also wanted to have the same motorcycle to simplify maintenance, and find something we would both feel comfortable riding. We ended up chosing the Suzuki V-Strom 650, a 07' grey one for Chad and a 05' red one for Caroline. We left for our journey on 6/14/09 from Washington, DC.
