Worldtravellers looking for a new way to explore this planet :)

When I met Marc, we dreamed about travelling, a few months later we went to Sardegna, Italian Island. A few months later we did a roadtrip to Croatia and Italy. Than we went to Indonesia and thats where Marc proposed to me We went to Spain and the travel-bug just stared getting bigger.

Last year my husband and me, decided to go around the world.
We bought all one-way-tickets and started our journey
Belgium
South Africa
Oman --> Bought our wedding rings
India --> Bought our wedding clothes
Australia
New Zealand
Hawaii (Oahu, Kauai and Big Island) --> We got married here!
USA (California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona)
Chili,
Argentina
Bolivia
Peru
Brazil

We went back home to have a wedding party for family and friends and we announced we bought a one-way-ticket to New Zealand.
There we bought a van, travelled for 2 months. Took a working/holiday-visa for Australia and arrived in Brisbane this January 2012. At this moment we are working in Katherine, waiting for our flight Darwin-Denpasar on the 5th of August.
There we start our second trip, we want to travel as much as possible without taking a plane, and start doing Indonesia by scooter as we did in 2009 already

Hopefully I can come here to read some of your stories and ask some questions when needed.

See ya later!

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.
