I love surprises - and Nicaragua delivered so much more than anticipated (and it was cheaper than Panama and Costa Rica!). Hope you like the latest in my ongoing scribbles.

I've set up JustTextGiving for my Pat Around the Americas fundraising in the UK.
Using your mobile phone, it is quick and easy and (aside from the donation) won't cost you, me or Unicef anything.
Just text PATA50 £5 (with the amount you want to donate - £5 is shown as an example but it will work from £1) to 70070, and you'll get a receipt and the option to link to Gift Aid (which I recommend if you are a UK tax payer). Simples

Go on pick up your phone and take a second to help out those kids now.
Thanks
Pat

Hi Pat,
It was nice to see the very same sight of track which I have had travelled few weeks earlier than you. Safe ride to your next destination. If you fancy riding Canada and Alaska next Spring, we might just cross each other track.
Adios!

Atif,
You have found the correct website for the sort of questions you are asking, but perhaps not the right thread. Why don´t you post a message on the regional forums on this website - and/or send a message to some of the communities for information on specific countries. You could also use the search facility to check documentation requirements of the countries you mention. You´ll find the links for all these parts of the HUBB at the top. Unfortunately I have not ridden most of the countries you have noted in your message.
For countries that are members of the European Union (27 in total - including Spain, France, UK, Italy, Poland etc) you´ll need third party insurance as a minimum. This is essential - no options. A single insurance policy should cover you for travel in all 27 countries - you should check that this is the case when seeking quotes from companies online. You will also need a valid drivers licence - which shows that it also covers the size of bike you will be riding. Depending on where you are from, you will also need a visa - which may or may not be valid for all EU countries. You will need to check specific requirements for each of the EU countries you are thinking of travelling to. The UK, for example, has very different visa rules to Spain. Sorry, but I don´t know what import regulations there are (if any) for the temporary use of a non-EU registered bike. But you may find some information on this elsewhere on the HUBB.
If you are thinking of travelling to the Americas (south, central or north) you´ll find the information on my website of interest.
Pat Around the Americas
I´ll be transferring some of that information to the relevant pages of the HUBB over the coming months too.
I found the Adventure Motorcycle Handbook a very useful place to start my big trip planning. You can find copies on Amazon.com or at Adventure Motorcycling Handbook | the website for the book A new edition will be out in a few months.
Good luck with your planning, and your trip.
Pat

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.
