Hello Nailah,

I am in Djerba right now. I was planning Egypt for Christmas but I may pop home for some Turkey. Flights out of here are dirt cheap. I'm in a 76 VW camper with French plates just in case you see me. I have no visa for Libya and it seems a nightmare as well as expensive. May ferry back to Italy and then to Egypt in the new year. Where are you and do you have a visa? My e-mail is: luc@lucontheloose.com and ivorlott@free.fr

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.
