AROUND THE WORLD for the second time

Have you ever imagined giving yourself a brake of three years to experience the world?

That´s what we, Roy and Michelle, did in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Our dream became an opportunity to change our lives and we went in a journey by car that crossed 60 countries in the five continents.

We drove through the Andes in South America, saw some aboriginal sites in Australia, tasted spiced food in South East Asia, hiked the Himalayas in Nepal, came across different traditions in Middle East and India, learned a lot of history in Europe and stood face to face with wild animals and remote tribes in Africa.

After having driven more than 160.000km (100.000 miles) we came back home, where we worked for 4,5 years to share our experiences. The book we wrote about this first expedition is a success in the Portuguese version, having sold around 10.000 copies. Just very recently the book World by Land – A fascinating trip around the world by car was translated to English.

But not being completely satisfied with what we saw around the world, we left Brazil to endure our second world trip, driving the same Land Rover Defender we drove in the first trip. The new project “Latitude 70” has the goal of achieving tree points in the globe over 70 degrees North in latitude. The first one was recently in Alaska, the second will be in Russia and the third in Scandinavia. The most challenging of them is going to be the Russian one, due the extreme temperature we will be facing there. The reason is that the eastern part of Siberia is drivable only on winter, when the wetlands and rivers become a thick ice.

Today, being already one year on the road, the project Latitude 70 crossed 14 countries in South, Central and North America and has other 36 to go. From North America the car will be shipped to Russia, and than the trip continues through Mongolia, China, Central Asia, East Europe, and Scandinavia and finally home, in Brazil, which is going to be in the middle of 2017.

Our pleasure is to share our stories. So, that is what bring us here, in these post.
Greats adventures is what we wish you.
All the best,
Michelle and Roy - Mundo por Terra // World by Land

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.
