Hello

So do I, just my 2 cents.
I can't really follow your path of thoughts, it sounds a bit cynical,
so just some responses since we're at the pub.

I fear it will take more than next year to return to normal, once the vaccine is here and 8 billion people got it, I hope after the comming economical crisis I still have the possibility to travel.

Nobody needed that shit virus.

Travel was always easy depending on your passport and destination, the hardest part was always getting the arse off the couch.
Internet, GPS etc. made information and contact easier, but some borders and areas are now closed, or you need guides etc, Thailand, China.
I read and heard stories about Algeria, just hop on the ferry and play in the sand, just closed when I made my bikelicence.

There are still some deserts that you can go into, just dont check your fuel and the excitement will come...

If there are to many bikes at the northcape in Norway in July, just go in January, folks back home will once again say you're crazy and locals offer you a cup of warm coffee.
(But even that has been done by many others before you...)


Just remember, overlanding has never been (for us here in the pub) exploration of uncharted land, even the worst sandtrack was build by someone, then after a couple of hundred miles you need gas, how did that get into the plastic bottle there?
When we thick we're at the arse of the world, it's the center of the world for the person filling gas out of the plastic bottle into your gastank.

Is the one that travels today a hero or just someone who is recklessly and selfish spreading the virus?
Just think about that.


cheers sushi


P.S.
If overlanding by motorbike is to easy for you, switch to bycicle, they make every motorbiker (who thinks he's the biggest badass) look like a
