2024 Year in Review
by Travis Gill
This year was a year of change for us. Since March of 2020 we had been full-time traveling within the European continent with a couple of diversions to north Africa. After riding more than 110,000 miles on each of our two BMW motorcycle “pack-mules”, we felt it was time to put an end of the European chapter of our travels and start fresh in … Read More 2024 Year in Review

What a year! A new year always brings the excitement of exploring new places, making new friends, and creating memories of a lifetime. 2023 was no exception! Over the last year we rode from the Sahara Desert of Morocco to the Southern Boreal forests of Finland and 18 other countries in between.

A Stunning Ride through Velebit Nature Park, Croatia
by Travis Gill
We had heard about Velebit Nature Park after watching a video of the Trans Euro Trail by moToRAID. In the video, the rider, on his Yamaha XT660Z, passes through some pretty stunning areas – made even more dramatic with the beautiful drone footage. However, after riding the entire length of the Trans Euro Trail ourselves, we didn’t experience many of the areas from the … Read More A Stunning Ride through Velebit Nature Park, Croatia
Looking Back on 2022
by Travis Gill
We were recently talking to a hotel host in Morocco who inquired where we were from. This is always an interesting question, because as travelers, we feel we’re “from” wherever we started our day. However, to avoid confusion, we just say “California” since most people know of California from movies and television. The next question, upon seeing that we’re on motorcycles, is “Did you … Read More Looking Back on 2022

Trans Euro Trail, Croatia – The Road Less Traveled
by Travis Gill
I remember reading the warning on the Croatia page of the Trans Euro Trail website: “Wherever you see a MINE sign on the side of the road, it is STRICTLY forbidden (not to say very, very foolish) to venture from the road. Croatia was unfortunately part of the wars of the 90’s. MINE signs along the white roads, in the woods, open fields, wood … Read More Trans Euro Trail, Croatia – The Road Less Traveled

Beauty Abounds in Northern Istria, Croatia
by Travis Gill
A few days ago we were chatting with a German van traveler about our shared travels throughout Europe. One of his favorite memories was the Istrian Peninsula of Croatia and we shared our excitement of having visited this area as well. He later commented that he loved this region of Croatia, but felt it was too crowded with German speaking tourists. Our experience was … Read More Beauty Abounds in Northern Istria, Croatia

Riding the West Coast of Croatia’s Istria Peninsula
by Travis Gill
When we arrived in Croatia we had some knowledge of famous coastal cities like Dubrovnik, Split, and the natural beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park, however we didn’t know anything about the Istria Peninsula located in the northwest of the country. After a wonderful day in the city of Pula, we were eager to experience more of this coastal region of Croatia. Today’s ride … Read More Riding the West Coast of Croatia’s Istria Peninsula
