My first step of a really long trip!

Hello,

A few weeks ago I announced you guys that I had quit my job to plan my RTW trip.

OK, I've begin my adventure at last. Since I'll be posting my adventure online, this is the video that tells the whole thing to my friends and relatives:

In Spanish:
La mayor aventura de mi vida

In English:
YouTube - The Greatest Adventure of My Life


Enjoy!

Good luck, man!

Looks like we might be crossing paths in late 2011, early 2012. I'm planning to leave my home in eastern Canada for my RTW in August of 2011; and then head south...

I showed you my map before in your other thread:

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.
