New traveller, UK based
Morning,
Just like to say Hi, been travelling all over Europe for years but looking to go further afield. I've been reading HU for years but didn't get round to doing something about it.
What I plan doing is traveling whilst working. I work in IT and can work remotely, so maybe travel for 2 weeks then work for 4 weeks somewhere interesting - I work full time for a UK company so some leave will be unpaid, but I should have enough money if I stay away from mainland EU and USA. Planning on staying in Air bnb or cheap hotels/hostels.
I plan filming my travels, I realised last year I've not got any footage worth showing to anybody from years of travel, just clips and photos of here and there. So I'll be putting it on youtube so you can all share in the boredom and hassles I have !
Steve

Maybe don't?
Filming, especially when you are alone, is a LOT of work and a lot of detraction from enjoying your travels. And if you are not already an accomplished filmmaker, chances are that pretty much nobody will care about your helmet cam videos.
Just enjoy the trip for your own sake. Take photos for your own memories.

Thanks, I appreciate that but if I didn't do something because it might spoil the experience, I'd never do anything new.
I realised a few years ago that I'd been to many countries and most in Europe, but I'd not got any record of much of the visits because I didn't manage the photos and what little video I had. I've got loads of random photos and snippets of video here and there but nothing I can look back on in 20 years and enjoy watching and with GoPros being so good now, it's an opportunity not to be missed.
It's the editing that will be hard !

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.
