Anyone Travelling with Children?
hi I am 51 and have a young daughter who i travel with regularly, using our Defender camper van with a CRF 250 rally on the back. We have traveled most of Europe, Iceland, Norway, Ukraine etc but i would love to do Morocco or the Stans etc but really would like to travel with a like-minded group/other vehicle or bike with kids. Just gives a much better sense of security traveling together, and also nice for the kids to play together at the campsites etc. So plans for 2020 are - could easily do Morocco in either Feb or March, then will head north to East Iceland for end March, Northern Norway for early April (to avoid the crowds), cross to Russia at Murmansk, south to Kazakhstan and Tibet. Again i am super easy and have a relaxed timetable (my daughter has a correspondence school), so really a post to see if anyone out there has similar interest or situation. I have posted a pic of our rig. Get in touch if anything interests you in the above or you want to meet up on the road. thanks dean

on the road
hi everyone we managed to get to Turkey for 4 months, then took ferry to Odessa, arrived there Sunday, now wild camping near Kherson and will slowly make our way north to Kiev and then onto Russia. Anyone around, need some info, drop me a line. Ukraine is as great as ever, no Covid restrictions, no masks (except supermarkets) so all good!!!

Did you was able to connect to other travellers with kids till today?
I did meet travellers with kids severall times - but guess it is not that easy to connect with each other.
This can help at least to look who is nearby:

I did`nt find a helpful ressource, but with googeling for "Overlanding with Kids" you can find a lot of travelblogs, but no easily way to conncect.

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.
