Greetings from Buenos Aires!

Hola!

My name is Federico and I'm based in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
I'd been travelling through SouthAmerica mainly by truck, as I didn't dare to ride a motorcycle down here before. Now I'm planning to get a bike (probably with a sidecar) to explore SouthAmerica while making photos and tasting amazing coffee (I'm a Barista for pleasure).

I love to meet fellow travellers (i joined CouchSurfing 4 years ago), so get in touch when you ride to Buenos Aires!


Saludos,
Federico

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.
