User: Kiwi on tour ( Kasey Van Lierop), NZ, 33.
Start / Finish: UK to Australia.
Our rough Route: Europe, Turkey, Stan, China, Tibet, Laos,Vietnam,Cambodia,Thailand,Malaysia, Bali, East Timor, Australia
Main Dates: Depart April 2015
Vehicle: 06 Mercedes Sprinter - converting it into a camper.

User: Jesse, 26, man, London
Start / Finish: London to India?
Rout: Ride to India via the stans and ship back (or anything better)
Main Dates: any time spring/summer 2015
Vehicle: XR650L (2005)
Notes: I have a few flakey mates that i've done similar trips with before. I'm not sure if any of them will definitely be able to do the trip. Need more like minded people to join the gang! Three's the magic number

Leaving Ireland around the end of April/ 1st week May. Returning sometime in October.

Inbetween, heading Turkey, Georgia, Russia, Kaz, Kyrg, Tajikistan, Kyrg, Russia, Mongolia, Russia, Belarus, Poland, etc.

All very flexible, may be solo, maybe with herself. Will be avoiding the tourist trail at all times as always. The Pamir, Altai and Tuva are beckoning so I'll be doing a bit of 2 legged travelling as well. Other than that and visas I'll make it up as I go along.

Departure day will come when I have my Russian visa organised, I'll get home when I get there, but I can't stay away all winter.

It'll be 4 wheels though for me, in my 91 Toyota rust and all!

Hi to all!
I'm new on the HUBB; and my first post...
But I've already noticed that there is a lot of expercience and fun to share here! Looking forward to all of it.

So here are the plans from The Netherlands:

Start / Finish: Netherlands - New Zealand
User: Lilian van der Wijngaart
Rout: Holland - Germany - Turkey - Georgia - Azerbedjan - Iran - Stans - Russia -Mongolia - China - Laos - Thailand - Malaysia - Indonesia - (Oz) - New Zealand. Then shipping the bikes back to Holland.
Main Dates: march 2015 - march 2016
Vehicle: Me Lilian riding a BMW F650gs (twin) and my husband Guido on a Triumph Tiger xc800
Notes: Looking for some company for the trip through China to share the costs. On motorbikes but 4x4/campers/etc not travelling on motorways will be fine.

Oz is a bit uncertain because by the time we are arriving in Darwin the Wet will be at the start and that is not a good moment...... ;)

Grtz
