Second time i quit my job and head off for a "Motopacking" trip.Currently in Vietnam.

Name is Patrick. Canadian. Light/heavy duty mechanic by trade. 29 yrs old.
Did a 4 month trip in 2015 with a Guatemalan XTZ125 and 38l a backpack. Rode from Guatemala to Panama and left bike in Panama. Got hooked! Currently in Hanoi, Vietnam. Started in Thailand with a KLX150. Went through north thailand and Laos. Got denied at the Vietnam border, so I sold bike in Laos and bought a 03 Suzuki Djebel xc 250 a few days ago in Hanoi. Going to take the bike as far as i am able. Any advice here is appreciated as I did not do much research as far as picking possible future destinations or routes. That being said, getting somewhat comfortable here.

Safe Travels!

hi there, I am 44 years old Malaysian male rider. I wonder if you are interested to travel with me in Peninsula Malaysia. Followings are my style of travelling. I am travelling with a mix bread dog name, Paapi. My mode of transport is midium range cub 110cc, Modenas Kristar 2004.




I only take old street or kampung roads to travel from place to place, I mostly avoid cites, so my riding speed is typically between 30kmh and 50kmh. Dailly travelling range us about 80km to 120km. I travel follow a directions but have no plan for any particular destinations in general, so if you have a destination or wanted to see something, I can bring you there.



I sleep in a tent and most of time in a jungle "Hutan Lipur", other times nice under the hut camping site and sometimes in a cemetary, but never in a paid accommodation.





For food wise, I cook my own food, buy raw foods over the market and cook. Paapi eats chicken almost everyday, quater cooked chicken. I carry my own cooking sets with me because I don't eat from food stalls.





So, if your travelling lifestyle matches mine, let me know, may be we can travel together. I can show you the real beauty of Malaysia.










Best Regards,
Paapi The Travelling Dog.

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.
