Out of interest where have you posted this? I have asked people on the communities a few times about places to stay in their locality and have been offered a bed with them but have never presumed it was for that purpose, unlike the tent space thread on advrider which is specifically for that, have I been missing out all this time?

The one I know about is bunk-a biker. We made use of it during our recent time in Spain (and were very warmly welcomed by the Mas Gas club in Cordoba), and a friend in the US hosts people regularly.

For a long time the roadtrips I participated in were in groups. We were 3, 4, 15...
And indeed, there are always compromises to be made when you are not alone.
Now I confess to also prefer to travel alone, stop when I want, if I want, where I want, take pictures, ride at my own pace.
And paradoxically, I feel less alone now than before.
In a group, I followed the others, my opinion was drowned in the mass. Alpha males took power over almost every decision.
And above all, we kept to ourselves.
Now that I travel alone, I don't feel alone. Each stop is an opportunity to meet other people, to discuss, to exchange, to share a piece of the ride together. And I love that !
My bike and I are ready for new landscapes, new roads and new encounters!
But just my bike and I!

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.
