How everything started…
Posted by admin in About, Mind Trippin', On the road, Planning on March 26th, 2009
Many of you have been asking us how we developed this idea?
So lets start at the beginning…
How did we come up with this crazy, “or not so crazy”, idea??
For quite sometime, we were thinking about moving to Perth. The trip was created out of our need for adventure and to discover new cultures! Then a few months ago Luiz got his permanent residency visa approved to live in Western Australia. At this time that the two of us, Alex Stueber and Bruno Zanetti, decided we were ready for a change and prepared to move to Perth .
After deciding to go, we thought about how we were going to get there?
Our first thought was travelling by plane. However luggage posed a problem as we have too many bags!! We thought of sending our bags through Fedex or a similar company, but it proved itself to be very expensive.
The second idea was to hire a campervan or a similar car and drive there. By driving to Perth we could discover Australia, learn more about the culture and people.
This was the best idea so far but something was missing from our adventure and we didn’t know what it was. We knew that traveling by car our luggage could easily be transported. So we decide this was the way to go and started planning the route we were going to take. We initially decided to go straight from Sydney to Adelaide, passing through Bathurst and Mildura. This way we could pass through small towns and villiages not often visited by tourists or Australians alike.
Now one thing was certain, we were not going to fly to Perth. Instead, we were going to discover the Outback.
At this point things started to get complicated, as there were still some points to be decided and arranged. Firstly, the need to sell Alex’s bike, a Yamaha FZ6N. Although, Alex needed to sell his bike, it didn’t mean he was prepared to become a commuter again…hahaha. He wanted to buy another bike, a cheaper one this time. . . A scooter seem like the perfect idea.
Then another issue came up. Sell the scooter before going to Perth and buy a new one up there OR transport it to the other side of the country?
During a lunch break, Alex and Bruno got chatting about a solution to this issue. Many ideas were discussed. The best solution, in our disturbed point of view as some of you might say, was to . . .
RIDE TO PERTH ON THE SCOOTERS!!!!
This is how our 2 scooters adventure was born!!!
See our route
