Thanks Stephen. You hit on one of the dilemmas of 'round the world' - which countries do you miss and still see as many countries as possible? One of my reference materials was Chris Scott's book Adventure Motorcycling Handbook, where he defines the 'Adventure Motorcycle Zone (AMZ)'. The zone excludes North America, Australia and Western Europe, mostly based on expense of travelling in those countries and probably a little to do with cultural differences and challenges in the other countries.
So in planning I have deliberately focused on the AMZ to enable my travels to last as long as possible. I can travel for twice as long in the AMZ. I happen to have friends living in the southern US so that's on the radar and is also an obvious take-off point to Mexico and beyond. So unfortunately Canada and further north into the US is ruled out at the moment.
Thanks for following!!
