Female partner wanted for overlanding / travel / adventures / life?

As a Retired Gentleman of Leisure and part time SNOBIRD, I am preparing to head South for the Winter again. I will be leaving Vancouver Island, Canada sometime in October. Planned destinations for this trip include the US West Coast, some Southern states, Mexico, and Belize. With a possible drive to investigate Costa Rica as a bonus? The itinerary is NOT set in stone … spontaneity and serendipity are the guiding navigational principles.

I am seeking a FEMALE PARTNER for travel, adventures, and possibly FOR LIFE! She will be adventurous, affectionate, attractive, self reliant, spontaneous, and sensual. She knows how to pack light, and she usually has a bag packed and ready to go … just sitting there waiting for an excuse. She must be ready to travel …. NOW!!! She will probably have owned a VW Westphalia at some time in her life … and remembers all the quirky things about it fondly. But mostly, she will be ready for a PARTNERSHIP, based on respect, great communication, HUMOUR, exploring, learning, sharing, and living in the moment. Military, medical, or police experience an asset, and previous experience at exploring remote locations by bike, backpack, motorcycle, and overlanding get bonus points.

A well seasoned real life human version of XENA the Warrior Princess would be perfect … but I already have a four legged furry version. So “MUST LOVE DOGS”, and the ability to be the “ALPHA BITCH” is highly desirable. (;-{)


XENA the Warrior Princess … 75 lbs of LOVE … and GERMAN ATTITUDE!

For the next few months I will mostly be living out of my AWD SAFARI Micro Motorhome. This GO-Almost-Anywhere unit will serve as “the Mothership” for transport to various exotic locations, where bicycle and backpack can take over for short term local explorations. While I have decades of experience at “Adventure Touring” with a backpack, bicycle or motorcycle, the SAFARI AWD Micro Motorhome provides much more COMFORT and SECURITY, and sleeping inside, warm and dry, on a 4” thick memory foam mattress, suits me better these days than “roughing it” in a tent .. in the rain … with jungle critters prowling around outside.



My hand built/custom/D.I.Y. AWD SAFARI Micro Motorhome / Class "C", has a full sized bed, lots of storage space, with propane stove, water system, and porta potti. This Micro M/H is bigger than most of the many other camperised vans that I have owned and travelled in for the last few decades. But it is still compact enough, and light enough, and it has AWD, so I can bounce down “the road less travelled” looking for remote and isolated camping spots. Enjoying the journey as much as any specific destinations.

If this crazy, rambling, Gypsy life style sounds appealing, both as a Winter / Snobird escape, and possibly for the long term, then respond.
I can send more info and pictures.
“Fortune favors the Brave”. (;-{)

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.
