Hi and thank you :)
 

Just wanted to chime in and say that I love these forums. So much good information. Sad to see that it's not that active - maybe because of covid?

For me covid has been an absolute blessing. I'm now allowed to work remotely, so I took the opportunity, and have been traveling around Europe on my bike (first year or riding). I work on the weekdays and travel on the weekends.

I've gotten the itch to do full time overlanding. And I'm planning a 3 month trip cross Africa once covid dies down. (maybe fall 2021) So I will be posting about that at some point...

Best Regards
-Sami

Hi Sami

Welcome along. Most of the time if you ask a question you will get an answer pretty quickly. It is true that it can be a little quiet here at times but there is so much information in the forum already and the people that have useful information are happy to share on the whole - so if you want to find out about things have a look first and if it is something that could have changed over time then ask if it has.

There is something about Africa that really pulls at me too - though I won’t be going anytime soon. I suspect tat autumn 2021 may be a little early as I suspect that borders will be closed for at least a year - probably two years before they are all back to normal - a significant number of people in Europe won’t have been vaccinated by this autumn and I suspect that Europe / USA will get vaccinated earlier than many parts of Africa.

Welcome to HU Sami!
Jay is bang on - there is so much information already here, most people do a search, find their answers and they're done. The TRAFFIC - number of people - is down because of COVID for sure, no one is going anywhere NOW - but loads of people are researching and planning. Do check out the drop-down menus at the top of every page - a great guide to the world of information here, and not just in the forums.
