A backpacker bought a little scooter and decided to ride it home from the south of Iran. Find out how to make the trip of a lifetime through the Middle East, the Caucasus, Turkey and the Balkans on a 600$ machine with a gas consumption not even worth mentioning while sleeping in a tent to save money – finances are always tight for us students.
And see what it’s like to drive through Iran as a woman through my partners eyes – she decided to tag along even though local women are not allowed to drive motorcycles in Iran (luckily tourists are).
We will be posting info on the routes, the paperwork and the places - all with beautiful photography.

When two brothers decide, at the ages of 30 and 32, to ride to the farthest southern reach of the Americas many questions arise as to the purpose of their journey. Need journey have purpose? Hunter S. Thompson argued that to try and understand the goal is to misunderstand the man. Many people exist in a state of unrealized potential in a world of wide horizons. Who are we to judge? We are simply two men caught between the tension of infinite (that which is possible) and finite (that which the Universe limits). With open hearts and minds we greet the world as the world welcomes us, from the North Shores of Vancouver and Nelson, BC to the South Shores of Terra del Fuego, Argentina. Enjoy.
MotoLaos is the motorcycle branch of our parent company called Off Road Laos Adventures. Our team of passionate motorcyclists wishes to share its 16 years of experience with fellow bikers from all around the world by proposing out of the ordinary dirt bike trips in Laos.
Based in the heart of the small town of Luang Prabang, our human size company offers you to discover Laos "live" without any middleman and on the remotest northern Laos tracks doorsteps.
Our enduro motorcycle excursions require a deep knowledge of the field in order to adjust the trip both to your group abilities but also to the climate & seasons of Laos. Our regular field surveys allows us to anticipate any incident along the way: a river too high to be crossed, a recent landslide... Additionally, our trained mechanics are responsible for the finest maintenance and quality of our motorcycles.
Check out “live” our trips and expeditions on our Facebook page.

Hello. I'm a motorcycle enthusiast and traveller beginner in my mid-twenties, eager to help others on their road as well as to see the world on my own. I live in the north of Poland about 50 km from the Baltic Sea in a house placed near a tiny town called Miastko. It's also about two hours ride from Gdansk and in close proximity to the beautiful and diverse region called Kashubia/Cassubia. You’ll see plenty of lakes that are various sizes, hills, plants and just pure nature, everything in one place. What I can offer you is a free acommodation for 1-2 night for maximum 4 people. I’ve got my own garage with a decent set of tools. If needed, I can handle little maintenance work or even weld some metal parts. Willing to show you around, spend time together. Drinking OK, smoking outside, laundry, wifi.
P.S Hosting a random traveller who let me know about the HU gave me an idea of home sharing.
