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??

Yes, that was Brad who was riding with me.
I'm heading into Guatemala tomorrow morning. (I'm in a bit of a hurry).
or else does anyone know if it is possible to change them in, say, Vancouver. maybe at the airport??
clutching at straws but the ol cash supply is really wearing thin...

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.
