Welcome to viajarMOTO! We are Travis and Chantil – a couple who decided pack our lives aboard our two BMW G650GS motorcycles mules and travel the world. Since March 2020 we’ve been full-time traveling throughout Europe and a bit of north Africa. Join us as we share videos, blog posts, and photographs in our journey to explore this “pale blue dot” we call home.

Why viajarMOTO? The very first country we explored, outside of the United States, was Baja Mexico. In honor of this country, and its language, we decided to use the Spanish verb “viajar” which means to travel. “MOTO” is short for our beloved motorcycles.
Our Sponsors
It’s been an honor to work with UPSHIFT Online and these wonderful motorcycle companies to include Outback Motortek for their crash-bars and bash-plates, Scorpion EXO for their helmets, and Turkana Gear for their simple, yet rugged, soft luggage. These are all companies that have our utmost confidence because we use their products everyday while full-time overlanding.

Video Travel Series
We shoot, edit, and produce a YouTube travel channel of our motorcycle adventures. Each episode is different – sometimes we’re carving through curved mountain roads, sometimes we’re riding through the remote backcountry on dirt and gravel roads, other times we’re discovering a unique hike, or visiting an interesting landmark or city. Whatever it is, we’re sharing the adventure!
We are currently editing and producing SEASON 3 – Where we explore the beautiful country of Croatia over three months in the autumn season.

We are excited to share our passion of travel, motorcycle overlanding, and photography with another yearly calendar!

We are elated to be involved in the latest book from Sam Manicom titled The Moment Collectors which features twenty stories from motorcycle overlanders from around the world. We share a chapter titled “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” which is about life’s progressions, discovering motorcycles later in life, and a moment of elation on a highway in Ireland. Order it at Sam-Manicom.com.
