My Uruguayan mate biking around Australia

[sellheim]

Hi all,


I’m writing this post on behalf of a friend and fellow motorbike adventurer from Uruguay. We met in Montevideo a month ago and he told me of his upcoming trip around Australia. I have just finished a 42,000km trip from Alaska across the Americas and it was a pleasure to meet another motorcycle enthusiast at my finish point. It has also been great to experience the hospitality and friendship of bikers and non-bikers from North America and Latin America. He has completed a trip from Ushuaia to Alaska on a 200cc and is now looking at conquering Australia. He’s a great guy, a minimalist and not a fussy about the discomforts of motorcycle travel. His current trip is on Conquista de Australia - Motorcycling trip | EveryTrail

However, his English is very limited, as he speaks Spanish in his native country. He uses Google translator to translate messages. As an English speaker in Latin America I know also the hurdles you have to face. It would be great if there is any Spanish speakers for him to meet up with, or those with some Spanish to improve theirs or maybe you could learn some basic Spanish phrases and practice your Spanish with him!


I’m asking that people can keep an eye out for his posts. His HUBB user name is: the dreams trip. You can basically copy and paste the Spanish words straight into Google Translator to see what he is saying. Write a reply in English, translate it to Spanish and post it to him, easy.


He will be doing a bit of a shotgun tour around Australia (as you can see from his itinerary) and I have no doubt that he’ll be not too far off his plan, due to his other shotgun mammoth trip from Ushuaia to Alaska on a 200cc in record time. See - The dreams trip – El viaje de los sueños


He is also looking to catch up with locals along the way to share a , food, conversation and if you had a bed/ couch for the night, garage, workshop and tools to maintain, help fix his bike along the way it would be much appreciated by him! Also information on his route planning, location of motorbike spares, things to see ect would be great. He’ll also be camping as much as possible along the way, so if you have any suggestions on where is suitable, please let him know.
