a favour from someone heading towards Colombia...
Currently I am in Costa Rica and making my way North through Central America to Canada.
ahem.. I have a favour to ask from a fellow traveller heading south...
Very recently I found about 200 dollars worth of Colombian pesos in my luggage which I had misplaced (ok, brad, lost). Good news. But I am having difficulty changing it into dollars (or local currency).
sooo, the thought crossed my mind. What if I bump into a fellow traveller going south who intends to go to Colombia??? Maybe we could work out a deal..
Anyone??

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.
