We need free accommodation on this route
Hello everyone,

We are doing a charity rally this July from Ireland to Mongolia. Basically we will be taking 6 weeks to complete the route and are looking for some lovely nice people to help us with accommodation along our way.

Take a look and if you are on it (or even near any of the cities) or know someone on it get in touch

Here is the webpage

See the excel sheet above the map

cheers,

Thumbs up welcome
Hello there,

welcome to the HUBB.

Just take tents and start looking for a free place to camp two hours before it gets dark.

Watch the travel movies: Mondo Enduro and Terra Cerca, than you know what to do, and what not to do, what to take and what to leave at home.

Enjoy

Saludos desde Bogota Colombia

You will have a hard time finding somebody from Iran, since therir internet is very limited and censored... but I also suggest couchsurfer, though I don't think there are many couchsurfer users in Iran or "...stan" countries.
You can relly on couchsurfer until Turkey, but after Turkey I suggest camping.

Last year in Iran every Internet cafe or 'coffee' as they call them had people browsing on vpns to get round the sensors and couch surfing is very popular.

In Talesh, just south of Astara by the caspian sea, you will find Sharroge, - the owner of the gas station in town. He speaks perfect english . I stayed at his place for a couple of days with his family - they helped me with a lot of info and tips. Great people !!!
You can find him on couchsurfing Iran aswell..,

Say hallo from Ove ;-)

Been on couchsurfer, seems to have plenty of activity for Iran. Anyway, cheers everyone for the info. We realise that camping will be our main accommodation outside of the cities/towns.

@Ove: I will be looking into Sharroge. Thanks a million and I'll pass on your greetings

Iran
Hello again,

if you made it to Iran, than I would not worry about a place to sleep .... in 1999 I spend a month in Iran and I was invited every day at least three times to eat lunch/dinner or spend the nights in a local house/shop/petrol station/workshop/mosque ....

enjoy - and yes you will find in Iran

saludos de Suiza

Does anyone know what the current situation with Visas for Iran is?? We have heard of some issues due to the presidential elections going on at the moment.

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.
