Your Help needed to get in touch with Ms.Didem Yaman
Dardanelles University academics Ms. Didem Yaman was İn Christchurch there for doctoral works.
Her family have spoken to her a day before it happened.She has planned to visit Christchurch
Cathedral and some shopping Malls the next day.

Since then, unable to get any news from her.All official applications are made but ı believe
HU-community is the faster team.

Could you please try to give us information about the present situation of her.
She was staying together with a Korean or Chinese acdemics lady named Sisi Xin.
Now both telephones cant be reached.

Hope you can be helpful.

Best Wishes
zeki avar


news video about her.
Didem Yaman Kayıp

It is with regret that I have to tell you that Didem Yamen was formally identified as being one of the dead in the Christchurch earthquake.

Here is a link to the news post;

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.
