Why Come to a Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting?

You can meet people who don't think you're crazy for wanting to ride your bike to South America or Africa or across Asia, or even around the world! Admit it, all your 'normal' friends and most of your family fears for your sanity! So, this is your opportunity to meet the people who will encourage you in that craziness, share their experiences and advice on how to do it, and maybe you'll meet them again in Mongolia or Timbuktu!


Report from Antonio Caldeia, the organiser for the meeting:

After two very interesting weeks in Morocco I’m back home and finally got the time to write.
Após duas interessantes semanas passadas em Marrocos, finalmente arranjei tempo para escrever.

I hope that you also arrived home safely.
Espero que tenhas chegado a casa em segurança.

I’m writing you these few words just to say thank you!
Estou a escrever estas poucas palavras apenas para te dizer muito obrigado!

The Horizons Unlimited Mini Meeting at Maadid was a very pleasant one thanks to your participation and of the others that took the effort to get there.
O Mini Encontro de viajantes Horizons Unlimited em Maadid foi muito agradável graças à tua participação e à daqueles que se deram ao trabalho de estarem presentes.

I was very pleased to meet you and I hope that we meet again.
Foi um prazer ter estado contigo e espero que nos re-encontremos brevemente.

If by any reason you happen to drive to Portugal please feel free to give me a call.
Quando e se necessitares de ajuda podes contar comigo e se quiseres aparecer para tomar um copo é só avisares.

I’ll be glad to assist you should the need arise, or at least have a beer or two with you.

Tudo de bom!
All the best, Antonio
