Hello there!!
My favorite trip was France Tajikistan... Riding in the Pamir mountains was stunning, and meeting people in central asia was a rich experience!
Last year, I rode in Iceland with my son, very amazing nature!!! and next summer, I will return to East! A trip from France to Iran!

One more!

Great adventures all!
Just letting you all know there is another girl in the crowd

So far I've done 9 countries in 10 days in Europe.
New Zealand top to bottom solo.
And the biggest trip: around Australia. From Perth across the south to Brisbane, straight through Alice Springs and 3000km of gravel back to Perth and then up to Darwin. This was parts solo, parts with others.

In a few weeks I'm of to South East Asia, from there I'll have to see how the money goes. But hope to make it to The Netherlands at some point.

If you want to check updates on my latest adventure:

Keep riding

Edit: I'm an idiot. Chantal on wheels ...you're dutch. Never mind.
The country is still nice though!

I teach so summers are me-and-bike time! Done a couple of summers in the western states, last year I bought a Transalp which is stored near Cork Ireland waiting for me. This summer I rode Wales, Scotland, then came back through Northern Ireland. Next summer is Norway. Weeeeee!

I travel solo, maybe make an effort to find travel partners for SA? Don't know yet.

Hello from Switzerland

Hey girls
Im a traveller for quite a while. Have been in over 60 countries so far (mostly by myself). Since 2012 I am on the road with my XT 660 R and my boyfriend. I love dirt riding a lot therefore we plan our trips to countries with nice gravel roads.
In 2017 we will leave for a long trip "around the World" (well Europe - SOA - Oceania - Africa - Europe).
Great to see so many other girs here
Cheers from Switzerland

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.
