Hello everyone, I’m just back from Cuba.
We had a lovely group of intrepid ladies who rode with us in Cuba, and we had a B-L-A-S-T! A picture says a thousand words, so I’ll post some pictures below. Be sure to check out our Facebook Page this week to see even more photos as well as some videos. If you didn’t get a chance to come with us this year, send me an email and I’ll put you on our contact list for future tours. (Hint-hint: next time we’re going to be riding vintage bikes in Cuba!)
We’re also pleased to announce our Waterfalls and Wildlife Tour in Southern Africa. I worked on a conservation project in Namibia for two years and I just love this part of the world. There’s something about the African continent that draws one in and it keeps pulling me back. I’ve toured a goodly portion of Southern Africa in a 4×4 camper and on motorcycles. Waterfalls and Wildlife will be a trip to remember with a fly-in safari in the Okavango Delta, a two-night stay at the super posh Victoria Falls Hotel right on the falls, spa stays, photo safaris in jeeps and boats and airplane safaris. We’ll also spend two days exploring the world famous Etosha National Park where I’ve seen too many animals to mention. I hope you’ll consider joining us. More info is HERE.
Give us a shout and let us know where you’re headed this summer,
~Alisa

Heather Ellis: Solo Adventure in Africa
From 1993 to 1997, Heather Ellis went on an adventure on her Yamaha TT600 through Africa, and later through Central Asia — a journey that took four years.
Everywhere she goes Heather is aided by locals and travelers alike, who take her into their homes and hearts, helping her to truly understand the spirit of ubuntu – a Bantu word meaning ‘I am because you are’. 
She recently published her book Ubuntu: One Woman’s Motorcycle Odyssey Across Africa, which chronicles her journey in Africa. In her memoir, she shares life-changing stories, both inspiring and entertaining.
