On the 24th of March 2019, Andrea Bortolotto left for a 5 months trip: his aim was to explore 25 countries and ride 25k kilometres between Europe and Morocco.
Even if that was the journey he had so long dreamed of, leaving home and everything behind has not been easy. But sadness and worry did not last long, because the excitement for his brand new adventure was stronger than fear.
In Morocco he cried and laughed, in Spain, he had a lot of fun, Normandy even moved him… and everywhere he went, he met special people that made him feel at home. Now he’s in Poland, and his adventure is almost at the end.

Visit Taiwan with bike, it's possible!
Gerard SAOUTER by alex foley, su Flickr
I'm Gérard, and as a happy pensioner and intensive traveller, I'm exploring one by one the destinations other people have inspired me to visit. With no logic, and no continuity among my journeys, one can find me in June on the Pamir Highway and in October in the Namibian desert. I’m happy as long as I'm riding a bike, be it rented, bought locally or my own GS.

It all begins...in Zimbabwe, where I happen to meet Claire, a lonely traveller from Taïwan, who came there like me to admire Victoria falls ; she's hiking, I'm riding a bike, we exchage e-mails and I tell her that I'll be visiting her island for two weeks at Chinese New Year time. She tries to talk me out of it, arguing that it is not the right timing...but unsuccessfully. In this surprising and endearing island, this trip in terra incognita dives the foreign explorers in a mix of modernity and tradition, a hybrid between China and Japan. This is what I'll be trying to play back to you.

During a long-term adventure, or just on a holiday on two wheels, being independent is the key, even with food. Carrying with you all the stuff you need to organize your meals is a huge pro if you’re looking to write off expenses, or if you’re just interested in keeping a healthy diet. What do you really need, in order to arrange the perfect travel kitchen? During the workshop, we will extensively discuss this topic - from pots to stoves - and share some important tips. In order to keep travelling light, and in complete autonomy.

A journey is not just defined by the amount of kilometres you cover or the places you visit, and Alberto Seligardi knows it very well. During his adventure through Albania, Greece and Bulgaria he understood that the most important things are the people you meet, what you feel, and the cultural differences you encounter. And, after all, if you have problems with your bike is not a big deal: that could be the chance to meet new people and to grow.
What did he learn during his trip? That people are nice, especially when you encounter difficulties. And he should have brought more underwear.

Passport, Visas, International Driving Licence, Carnet de Passages, insurance… when you exit European Union – or you are organizing an international trip – bureaucracy and papers could seem a huge obstacle. But every doubt will be sorted, during this workshop, and Matteo will share his travel experience in order to make document- related things smooth and easy.

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.
