1.What are normally the motives, that keep you moving, traveling in this way?
Discovering new places and meeting people with views, background and life different from mine.
And route planning is a part of the fun.
2. What kind of activities do you normally do, next to 4wd or motobiking?
I like to walk with my dog (my beloved long-haired German Shepherd) in my town or on the Alps' paths, and staying at the pub with my girl and with my friends at Friday and Saturday night.
3. Do you have an exact goal of the trip, natural, cultural heritage or activities, you want to do?
Usually my first stops are to discover one Country's cultural Heritage, but if I can add some nice roads for motorcycling and watching landscape, it's perfect!
I love prehistoric locations (for example rock art) and ancient civilizations' temples / graves / ruins...
4.How many time (in %) do you spend in touristic factilities (Camps, hotels...) on the trip?
As less time as possible, let's say 1% (breakfast in the morning... :-)
I love to ride my motorcycle, so a touristic facility is only a place to sleep and eat in the early morning while studying the road map.
5.How much time you normally spend for the trip?
Yearly? Some entire weekends and 18 to 23 days when our office is closed every August, it depends on the holidays that I have from work (and on how much money I dispose of, of course...)
6. Which are your favorite destinations (Country, Continent)?
Turkey, Central Asia and the Middle East.
