Do you know the world?
Do you want to find out how well you know the world?
I found this travel quiz on travelpod.
It shows you a map of the world which you are then asked questions on.
e.g. World Cities, Famous Places etc...
You click your mouse where you think the place is and the closer you are the more points you get. It also tells you how far away you are from the actual place as well.
You can also choose to do a quiz on Europe or Asia etc...
Have a go! Here is the address;
Traveler IQ Challenge
Have fun,
Beej

I was doing just fine....until I got to Carribean capitals. What's the use of knowing about places that are too expensive, too crowded with American tourists, yachts and cruise ships, and unreachable by motorcycle? (He says resentfully).

Glad your all enjoying the quiz!
Hi All,
Glad your all enjoying the quiz!
I also have discovered that my geographical knowledge of Canada is non-existent... oh... and America!!
Oh well... I've not been there yet... that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Did OK here and there, until Micronesia et al. My arguement is that you can't ride there....

And it is "Micro" to small to find on that map.

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.
