Hola !

After exploring S.America for the last eight months I've decided to stay in Peru, possibly forever.

If you're passing this way & fancy a or need help with anything let me know.

Cheers !

'Hola' to everyone who visited over the last couple of months in Arequipa.

We're leaving on Oct-12th & making our way to the meeting in Viedma, so maybe we'll catch up with you or see you there.

I'll be back in Arequipa for January.

"Stay in Peru forever..." I wonder what made you (both of you?) take that decision; why not Chile per say?
And, about making a living, although much easier there than here (proverbial US), are you able to really get used to the way of life there? How about Brazil, per say...
I know Arequipa is known as the city of eternal spring and more, but since I may be considering abandoning the US to live elsewhere in the Americas, I'm really curious about making a living (kind of anyway), and getting used to live there. Loving it? Having deep 2nd thoughts, between s, per say?
Best wishes!
Dario

Try Argentina. I arrived in 2002 and have not left yet. It is cheap and the people are wonderful. About adapting to living outside the US it depends on you not the culture you pick. It can be inlightning and frustrating as well. That is the case no matter where you are. I am in Cal for the holidays you can contact me direct ay poelcat@yahoo.com

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.
