Germany -> World - together on one cylinder, with almost no stuff

[Horizonride]

Hey fellow travellers,

my Greek Girlfriend Elli (26) and I (29) are starting our trip around the world at the end of may. We will be riding together on one Yamaha XT660Z Ténéré. So that makes half a cylinder per person ! We will be focussing on minimalism, as our space is pretty limited and keeping away from the standard roads, as we love to dig deep into foreign cultures.

We quit our residence, our jobs, sold everything we possessed including all these very German insurances and put everything on one card for our trip. My girlfriend speaks fluent russian and is adding spanish so we should be able to provide you with a lot of insider informations about the people in the countries we visit.

As for the route: We want to cross the balkans to turkey and Iran, take the renowned Pamir-Highway through the STANS and cross Kazakhztan, Russia and Mongolia to the lake Baikal. From there on we will plan the rest of our trip very flexible. We will just drive and see where the adventure takes us.

If you want you can follow us on Motorrad Weltreise - Horizonride - Immer Richtung Horizont! in German, or on Cover Page - Horizonride - around the world with a XT660Z Ténéré! in English! My girlfriend is a photographer and I am an author, so we will try to provide you with awesome photos and entertaining travelogues. We'd love to hear from you and maybe we see each other on the road :-)!

Save travels and cheers, Elli & Ben
