Welcome to RTW Moto Ventures! I started this site primarily to document a solo motorbike trip from the lower 48 to Alaska in the summer of 2018. I also have two previous blogs I eventually intend to add to this site – a RTW trip in 2014 riding across the Northern hemisphere through 23 countries – and a winter 2017/2018 trip traveling from Virginia, USA to Ushuaia, Argentina through 13 countries.
