Searching for a place to stay - Brazil Rio Worldcup
Hi there!
My Name is Martin Leonhardt and I am on a motorbike worldtrip since 8months. Right now I am in Asuncion Paraguay. I am waiting for the big 30000 service done on my KTM 1190.
On Monday or Tuesday I will finaly continue. I want to drive straight to Rio de Janeiro for the Wordlcup and maybe some other adventures. But well - it's kind of impossible to find a place to stay - furthermore is it even more complicated to find a good save parking for the bike.. Well - I guess most of you know this problem...
That's why I am writing here. Is there anyone of my biking fellows around in Rio that can offer me a place to sleep? Or has at least a recommendation....
This would make things for me so so much easier...
Any help appreciated...
Stories and pictures about my trip you will find on www.freiheitenwelt.de or FB www.facebook.com/freiheitenwelt
Looking forward to here from you!

Hi
danke - da schau ich auch noch vorbei! Mittlerweile hab ich nen Campingplatz und eine Couchsurfing Möglichkeit gefunden. Aber leider nur auf Zeit für die ersten Tage. Wegen der Spiele zum Ende der WM um Rio und Sao Paulo scheint mir nochmal mehr los zu sein als zu Beginn..
Aber wird schon werden. Danke!
Ups - again English!
thx - I will have a look. Meanwhile I found a campsite and a couchsurfing possibility. But just for a few days. Becauso the last games are taking place close to Brazil and Sao Paulo - it seems to be more crowded right now...
Will see - thx again!
Martin

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.
