Hi ya’all. We are Travis and Chantil (www.viajarMOTO.com) and we thought 2020 would be an epic year for starting full-time motorcycle travel. Who woulda thunk otherwise? We were just two weeks into our trip that started in Germany and ended in a screeching skid in southern Spain.

We are fortunate to have found an wonderful hostess with an AirBnB who has been incredible generous. Our apartment has all the needs a traveler could want and Chantil is able to make weekly grocery runs to a local store.

Right now, Spain is expected to continue the lock-down until May 9th. However, I’m wondering if tourism will continue to be shut down until well after the summer. I imagine countries will not be to eager to let tourists potentially start another round of infections!?

I’ve talked with the US Consulate in Spain and was told that our visa days will not count for the duration of the lockdown. If this is the case then we could still travel for another 70 days after the lock-down is lifted. But where do we travel? Sure, Spain is big enough and one could easily spend 70 days enjoying the different regions of this great country but I wonder if campsite, AirBnBs, and hotels will even be available. What about tourist sites? Will locals be upset when a pair of US plated bikes roll into town? So many questions and it’s starting to make me think that traveling in 2020 is no bueno...
