Hi Hossein!

Why do you still offer accomodation and help, if you can not afford it!
If I wolud have been the only person whit bad experience at your place, I would guess it was coincedent, but many people are dissapointed about you...

1. Hossein and his family helped us when we came to urmia and I was really sick. They took me to doctor, but on 3rd day suddenly kicked me and my girl-friend out of the house, while I still had 38° temperature and was not in the shape for riding a bike, at all. They just throw us out, by telling faked reasons

2. I've heard from several people that they have bad experience while exchanging money with him. He always wants them to hand money to him and then wait somewhere and not join into the exchange office... and in the end they get very bad ratesWhy? He already has negative references about this in Couch Surfing
When we went he acted in the excat same way, telling me to wait and I can not join!?


I just can tell everyone to watch out at his place, if you go there....

If this guy is using the hubb for marketing, he needs to take the bad press too! Post restored after being deleted. Now locked.

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.
