Notier's Frontiers

My name is Tim Notier, and I had this crazy idea.

I'm by no means the first person to want to go around the world on a motorcycle, and I certainly hope I won't be the last. But when my fiancée and I decided to quit our jobs, sell our cars, televisions, and furniture, and pack up only the very basics for survival onto a motorcycle to see how far we could go, I would say that pretty much everyone thought we had lost our minds. Though some said they were envious and wished they could do the same, others shook their heads at us, believing we were making a huge mistake. And maybe we were.

You've probably landed on this page for one of two reasons. Either you've met me and Marisa, maybe somewhere on the street while wondering what these two dusty motorcycle riders were doing in your hometown, or you found this website because you're a little like me: unable to take your mind off your dreams... searching the internet for inspiration.

Regardless of how you got here, I want to invite you to join us on our crazy escapade through the U.S., Central and South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, and beyond...?

To be honest, we're not quite sure where we'll end up. But it will certainly be quite a ride, and it's because of people like you that we're here, riding the dream, trying to find out for ourselves what lies just beyond the horizon.

Our newest book: A Road Guide to Peru!

Can you believe that before this book, there were actually no road guides available for Peru? So as somebody who wanted to travel the country in a vehicle, it felt like we were heading into the dark.

And that is why we wrote this Road Guide through Peru based on our travels throughout the country. It's got maps, photos, advice for border procedures, road precautions, and helpful hints and tips for getting insurance, gas, food, and even using electric showers. Plus, it's available in Amazon Kindle electronic format, so you can use it offline on your phone when you're surrounded by nothing but Incan ruins and llamas.

So check it out, and please let us know what you think of it on either Amazon or on our Facebook page.
