THE PREMIER OVERLAND ADVENTURE TRAVEL EVENT
Horizons Unlimited 1st Romania Travellers Meeting - Sebesu de Sus
Friday Aug 23 to Sunday Aug 25, 2019
It's All About Overland Adventure
"Adventures can take any shape. They can take place on the motorcycle, on a bicycle saddle, in a small car or a 4x4 monster. For us, some of the most interesting adventures have been to produce guidebooks about Romania. The work on this project has surrounded us with extraordinary people, and this has encouraged us to try a new adventure: a meeting of travellers in Romania.
Carpathian 2 Wheels Guide and Moto-Camp Cisndioara, helped by a handful of friends, will organize the first Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting in Romania at Sebeşu de Sus, Sibiu County, at the foothills of the Făgăraș Mountains."
Călin Nucuță and Doru Dobrota
Whether you're a seasoned veteran with wisdom to share or a complete novice hungry for ideas and guidance...
Horizons Unlimited meetings are for everyone who dreams of adventure along the road less travelled.
Inspiring, Informing & Connecting
Some people value Horizons Unlimited events for what they learn from the unique line-up of presenters. Some people value the chance to discover new products and services at the trade stands. Some people value just kicking back with a beer among old friends and new.
Most people enjoy a little bit of everything, and everyone goes home fired-up for adventure with a smile on their face.
The event will include a packed schedule of presentations and activities. All within the relaxed and friendly atmosphere that Horizons Unlimited is known for.

As well as hearing inspiring stories of overlanding adventure from around the world, you'll get the low-down on preparing for your journey, navigation, first-aid, photography, filming and a host of other essential topics.

Draft schedule can be downloaded here approximately 1 week before the event.
PLEASE NOTE: The schedule is subject to change at any time - all the presenters are volunteers and travelling, thus they may be delayed or unable to get there. Some may have anxiety attacks and be unable to perform! ;-) And sometimes travellers show up unexpectedly with great pics and stories, so we try to fit them in!
LOTS of presentations to come! As people register to present we'll list them here.
How about you? We're all here to learn, and there's LOTS to learn! We want to do more presentations and seminars - but we need volunteers to give them! Any topic you can contribute having to do with motorcycle travel, maintenance, planning etc, lasting 20 minutes or more, would be great. Please contact us here to volunteer.

Housekeeping Items
Young Adventurers
Horizons Unlimited is naturally keen to inspire the next generation of adventure travellers so you're welcome to bring your children along if you wish. Bear in mind that the event is for adults (with adult themes and language) and we won't have any specific kids' activities. Children under 14 years old get free registration (pay for camping/accommodation and meals). Please note that the health and safety of your children is your responsibility and they must be supervised by you at all times. Children under 14 will not be allowed in any of the presentations from 8 pm onwards each evening.
Smoking & Drinking
Those of age who choose to consume alcohol must drink responsibly. We reserve the right to expel without refund any attendee who becomes intoxicated and/or causes a disturbance.
Food, glorious food!
This event features Romanian traditional recipes cooked on the open fire. If you have tried some Sarmale (traditional Romanian cabbage rolls with pork and rice), Smoked pork shank with beans or Gulas, you know what we are talking about. A shot of Palinca (traditional Romanian beverage) will be on the house on arrival.
These meals are an excellent way to meet fellow participants and talk to presenters, and since you're eating right there on site, you won't miss any of the presentations. Always enjoyable and amazing value at only €5 each!
There will be a vegetarian option offered at each meal - we will need numbers for these, so please indicate when you register if you wish a vegetarian meal. Special diets can be accommodated with advanced notice within reason.
