Baku - March, April & May 2017 - Stop by for a drink.

I am working in Baku for 3 months this year.

I came through this way on my way to Thailand in 2015 so have personal knowledge of getting the boat to Kazakhstan.

Stop by for a drink if you are passing through.

Kim

Who wasn't to go to Turkmenistan anyway!!!

Sorry you didn't get your visa

It has been 2 years since I got the boat but it was pretty easy, I do have some tips though.

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.
