U probably will B looking a LONG time !

Really Laz1 I hope you find your Female traveler.........

But........really you think a female is going to take off with a stranger, go to foreign lands totally relying on you for pretty much everything !
Traveling with people you know or close friends on a trip like that is taxing enough with someone you know and trust ! Spending 24/7 with someone is NOT easy as anyone who has done so would know.......however those of us who have done so here most likely have done this knowing they have there own motorcycle and can go there own way if they must !

I personally think you are wasting electronic cyberspace with your fantasy

Well it's not as if we're short of it

Laz's post amused me anyway and got me reflecting on all the female travel partners I've been on trips with over the decades

These days I usually travel alone ....

For goodness sake, leave LAZ alone. Some of you are great experts in what's right for him and everyone else. Focus on your own goals and ambitions and stop feckin interfering with the hopes and plans of others.

For the record.........GOOD ON YOU LAZ, I sincerely hope you find what you're looking for

I tend to agree with ChrisFS and Lonerider with he exception that I think LAZ 1 is reaching out and should be acknowledged, he has not over reached and seems to be laying back to see anyone wants to be his friend.

LAZ 1 - you are certainly welcome to visit rosa del desierto and I at our ranch in Arizona. In the past hundreds of returned Peace Corps volunteers have passed through my ranch. More than half were single women. Women who served 2 years working in a 3rd world country after surviving a difficult 3 month training/selection process. I got to know many returned PC volunteer women at my ranch and during my own Peace Corps service, and it is my opinion your offer would not offend or seem outlandish to most of them. Each could take care of herself and was very, very confident.

Seems to me a women with international experience who are confident might at least be willing to meet you, it is all relative to the experience a woman has had and how adventurous she is and what/who she is attracted to.

Then about 40 political asylum cases from the former Soviet Union passed through my ranch and many were women. One was a former Russian cosmonaut. Many still live near the ranch and I have noticed your forthright approach and honesty might be greatly appreciated by women from the former Soviet Union. I noticed that financially secure and stable men were more appealing to my foreign women guests - while most of the locals seemed to prefer a "bad boy." I don't know if it is the cowboy culture I am surrounded with or what, but you might want to Learn Spanish, Latvian, or Russian and post in those languages on an appropriate site.

So visit us - if we are on your route and I/we wish you the best. Perhaps some of the women of the Hubb might comment?

I would think that mentioning motorbikes on a dating site would guarantee zero response.

This site at least has a 'Womens Topics' section which at least shows an acceptance of woman who may be adventurous.

Trying to arrange relationships via the internet is probably a lost cause anyway. Even if you had 50 responses to your 'ad', you'd still be struggling to find the one.

A true adventurer would be out there meeting the people you may want to form a relationship with.

I was thinking the same thing! lol

This thread made for a good laugh. Thank you

I think you need to look for the women in Central America. Sign up for some Spanish lessons in Guatemala and you will be set.

Age difference is not nearly as big of a deal to Latin women.

Another good strategy would be combing the beach bars on the way. Try Acapulco and Puerto Escondido.

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.
