An ongoing diary of a Grand Tour by motorcycle

From the UK to Australia and back - sort of. Plan? What plan?

During one trip to Nova Scotia on motorbike, Autumn and Adam stopped and asked each other how to keep this trip going. The solution was simple, Lose the debt, lose the goods, and set the priorities. Three years later, they are well on the way. Keep track of their findings and adventures on No Map Nomads, Half logistical, Half Philosophical.

Andy and Meggi Wimmer wanted to travel with their dog Navi with a BMW-Ural-Sidecar from Germany/Austria through Africa. But it was not easy, so in Damascus we decided to drive up to Iceland!

Heading north from Australia, following the sun - with the rain following us.

Being both motorcycle riders with a love for travelling, we talked about touring the world on bikes about two years ago. After looking into logistics/constraints and places we wanted to explore, we decided to tour the Americas from Alaska, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina. We also wanted to have the same motorcycle to simplify maintenance, and find something we would both feel comfortable riding. We ended up chosing the Suzuki V-Strom 650, a 07' grey one for Chad and a 05' red one for Caroline. We left for our journey on 6/14/09 from Washington, DC.

As usually happens over a beer or two, four friends decided to go to Timbuktu and back by motorbike. With less than a year to the departure date this is our website telling you who we are, what bikes we are using, what kit we are taking, the route, who is sponsoring us and most importantly who we are raising money for.
