Hello all,

My name is Teo, from Spain.

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the information on this site and on the Internet and I don't know where to start. So I am here to look for your advice on a plan that I have.

I recently quit my job and decided that I want to travel the world with my motorcycle for a year. That is settled, I do want to do it and I have the money and the time. I am being realistic, I do have some experience on long-distance motorcycle travelling (a couple of travels in Europe and Ushuaia - Cuzco in 2010). I also have some good contacts and access to information about motorcycle travelling since I worked for a few months in a motorcycle travel and rental company.

I am relaxed and open minded, I would like to visit every single spot in the world if that could be possible. I am not afraid of the road, the people or whatever life brings and wherever the road takes you.

But the last months I have been stressed about this whole idea of leaving for a year. I left my job back in September and since then I have been thinking a lot but planning very little. Everyday life has kept me busy and spring slowly approaches. I need to take care of some family business now, but I will be free to go by the end of March.

My problem is: **I don't know where to go!** Can you believe it?

I have money (I hope enough at least), I have a nice motorcycle (BMW R1200GS 2010 with 50k kms on it), I have some experience and I have the time to do it. The rest of the planning (setting up the bike, luggage, spare parts, visas, sightseeing... etc.) does not stress me. I am relaxed and usually do everything on the very last minute. Sounds stupid but it works.

However, I cannot seem to decide where to travel to and this stresses me. This is why I'm asking for your advice and suggestions. Where would you go if you had the chance to spend a whole year on your bike (leaving from Spain)?

There is a few places that I would like to visit, but they seem to be quite far from each other and very difficult to link on one big trip visiting them in the best season. I would like to see Mongolia, Australia, Alaska and Canada. India and Southeast Asia also appeal to me, and recently I started to think about Africa. But ... obviously I cannot do it all!

So... any suggestions? Any experiences to share? I think I need a coarse-more-or-less-go-through-here route and then I know I will be fine planning the rest. But I seem to be stuck here and need a little push to kick-start me

Thanks for reading and your contribution is very welcome.

Cheers!
Teo.
