living in South America?
I would like to move to South America and would like some recommendations as to which country (also area of) would be your choice and why. Thanks, John

That would depend very much on what you want I guess. Perhaps elaborate a bit more and you might get some more useful information :confused1:
However if you like very strong westerly winds, I can highly recommend Ruta 40 in Argentina

Seconded.
It a bit like saying you want to move to Europe. However, Europe is a very diverse place, comparing Iceland to Albania for example. Ditto for a continent the size of South America (Europe could fit within the borders of Brazil alone!)
Firstly do you speak either Spanish or Portuguese?

Yes, you're all right - I was rather vague. What I'm looking for is a very general feeling for a country. It is important to me that the people are generally friendly and the government not too restrictive. Cost of living is a consideration as is decent medical care. I ride year around so a snowbound environment is not an option. I speak a little spanish and find it a relatively easy language so that is not an issue. Thanks, John

Did It!
Did it!
October 2007, 33 years old: Closed my business, sold my apartment and everything I had in Denmark. Shipped my bike to Chile spend 8 month exploring South, Central and North America - 35.000 km 12 countries, 15 states. Fell in love with Colombia, married the love of my life - a Colombian girl, started a hostel and a motorcycle tour and rental business in Cali and became a dad to a beautiful daughter 4 month ago.
The best routes in life are full of curves - just like every stretch of Colombian roads ;-) Just do it!

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.
