I have been watching it. I have really enjoyed it. The South American parts were excellent as were the Central Americas. I was expecting to be a little bored by the USA but I had no idea how stunning so many of the states are - none were disappointing. Canada was good too.

I have been following her since I came across her not long after she finished her first trip back from India to the Netherlands on a Royal Enfield Himalayan - it was cracking advertising for the bike - warts and all and made me realise that I don't need a big bike to do a big trip (I know, I should have known that already from being on HU).

Her camerawork, dronefilming, geology-knowledge and videoediting-skill are truly amazing. And she is absolutely and totally alone doing it! Very impressive indeed!
And of course the fact that she often rides the roads less travelled and off the beaten track as well.

A little disappointed she didnt ride the Dempster highway too though…

I enjoyed seeing her videos, though I just tuned in occasionally - I enjoyed watching her "movie" of the highlights of the whole thing, I thought it was funny that her travels in Africa and Scandinavia only counted as a footnote!

Well, good luck to her in the future, regardless of where that leads

I might go back and slowly watch all the episodes in order, but it might take a while - I've haven't finished Star Trek The Next Generation yet ...

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.
