My first HU Travellers Meeting and I was delightfully impressed. Meeting all you wonderful folks was kind of humbling. So much experience and wisdom all in one place is much more fun than internet research!
I particularly enjoyed the talks regarding Central & South America which have helped me tremendously for planning my own trip 1 year from now. The presentations were great. Miles and Tracey, thanks for your fun report and gear lists, I'm already shopping for some of it.
I'm hoping to work next year's meeting in with the departure of my Big Trip and perhaps I'll have a slide show for the 2014 HU Travellers Meeting!

Thanks to all the volunteers and Grant and Susan .

New to Horizons Unlimited?

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.
