Greetings from Russia

Hello, HUBBers!

My name is Stanislav, 30 years old, I am from Moscow, Russia.
I grew up in Saint-Petersburg (also called "northern capital of Russia") where me and my friend built our first moped at 12 years old. So, from that moment I fell in love with two wheels and love is still strong. Passion of my life is motorcycle traveling so it seems I got in the right place

I'm going to RTW this year, start date 4th of July

Till then I still in Moscow so feel free to ask anything you need to know about Russia. And I'll be happy to help if you're in trouble somewhere around.

Wish you safe routes!

Hey, Wesley!

You can see it there: Route | Motolight's Round The World Trip

Long story short:
- Across the Europe, then ship to
- USA, then
- Go to South America via Central America
- Ship to Australia and go round (maybe I could get to New Zealand, where greatest Bert Munroe was born)
- Ship to Southern Africa and go up to the north
- Take a little of Europe (cause I cant go through Libya) and forwards to SouthEast Asia through India
- Go back home through *-stans

This route includes things I want to se and do (like facing three oceans on a ship), but any comments appreciated!

P.S. Really enjoyed your pictures of trip to Tajikistan.

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.
