Didn't understand a word said, but the mime and sound effects fill in nicely! Love the video and music, and the obvious joy of the traveller.
Keep on enjoying, and good luck. Stay safe.

Thanks for the excellent videos Miquel and congratulations for making it all the way!

We are planning to go the opposite direction, flying from Japan to the Phillipines and then riding the reverse of you route. We weren't sure it was possible but you have proven it is.

Hi, Ekke! I am heading to Calgary next week and probably visit Dave Anderwerks, where we met 2 years ago. If planning going to the Philippines, we can talk about it.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Susan and Grant Johnson Read more about Grant & Susan's story

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.
