Empty Quarter
Ted - it's the empty quarter - famed amongst wondering nomads to be full of, er, emptiness!

Ted, lucky guy, you're joking about, but this section was a serious suggestion.
Not everybody is lucky like you after returning, to have another job soon.
I came back full of energy and power and now I'm sitting here, tired after all this effort, still having no job after more than half a year. My former company doesn't exist anymore, I hit the economy resession right in the middle, and I'm not 20 anymore.
My idea was, that maybe other people got the same problem and it will be good to share. You usually only hear about people who got famous afterwards and they all seem to be lucky ...
OR maybe someone in Cologne (Germany) or arround has got a job for an experienced traveller
Ted, sweetheart, see you at the HUB Meeting

I joined the club, came back from SA in February, also to Cologne, also jobless. At least there is work to do on the bike, so I’m not too bored…yet.

So, Peer, I don't know you, but in case you will be bored one day, we can start moaning and wailing about our hopeless situations at a nice Cologne pub with some Koelsch, which usually helps for a while ;-) ...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
