By the way, if any of the listed countries are on your short list for 2017Q4 or 2018, please feel free to contact me. It would be nice to compare notes since I am still in the planning stage. It would also be nice to share my journey with local or foreign travel companions. Local motorcyclists with intimate knowledge of local attractions, scenic routes, lesser-known historical sites or geological oddities are always a highlight of a road trip.
In order to maximize the duration of my journey, I hope to minimize lodging expenses along the way. Any tips or online resources for affordable lodging, volunteering or 'tent spaces' would be greatly appreciated. In the United States, a popular website for free campsites on government BLM property or stealth camping is available at FreeCampsites.Net. Does the NZ or AUS adventure riding community have a similar resource?
Thanks again for any feedback or suggestions regarding the itinerary options and questions. (Perhaps our paths may cross at one of the HU rallies in Perth or Snowy Mtns.)
Take care & ride safely!
