Hello again.

Hi Bruno, good to see you are going to be again out there on the road. I hope you will have a hell of a great time with thousands of good experiences and no regrets about the job.

Enjoy your trip and keep posting.

Good to hear the news! I still have my carnet, just need to extend it! Happily to read and see that the Pakistan visa was not that hard to get!

I'm really interested in how you are doing up there! Keep us posted!!!

Ciao Alex

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.
