About me
My name is Maarten Koorn and this page serves to document my motorbike adventures. I was born and raised on the small island of Texel in The Netherlands. Once I moved away, I lived & studied in Amsterdam for several years before moving across the Atlantic to Vancouver in Canada. Vancouver has been my base for the past 20 years.
Adventure is one of my core values which of course goes hand-in-hand with motorbike travel.
Adventure Matters!
Ever since watching Long Way Round and Long Way Down years ago (Ewan McGregor & Charlie Boorman motorbiking around the world), I’ve been wanting to do crazy trips like that myself as well.
So in 2013 I took my Harley and rode solo from Vancouver, BC, Canada to Guadalajara, Mexico. Since then I've mostly been riding adventure bikes on several other occasions in Africa, Europe and more locally in the Pacific West, sometimes solo.
Riding South
Now I will be at it once more, but while I will be riding south again, Mexico won’t be my final destination this time!
