My Travelling Experiences

Before going to Spain, I had not searched much. I had read on horizon limited and so on. I found that nobody has full information. So I am writing it here. 1. Do not expect locals to know all about this. In fact if you ask me how a foreigner can purchase a motorcycle in India, I really don’t know, because I have never faced such a situation. So this will be the case for everywhere. 2. Bike dealer may know something about it, but that was not the case in Brazil nor in Spain. They didn’t know. 3. My experience tells me go to the source, i.e. the government department who handle the registration. I asked the hostel guy to give me what this office is called in Spanish and its address. 4. I went there office A. It’s in Calle de Arturo Soria, 125, 28043 Madrid, Spain. 5. They gave me the requirement list. (Image of the paper also posted below) a.  Foreigner registration in Spain.

Driving in Argentina  30 days Approx, 6000  km. Driving Map in Argentina After getting searched by those two policemen after Entering in Argentina, I continued my journey and was looking for a place to spend the night as it was already getting dark and scary (Forest).

The room tariff was a bit on expensive side for my expectation, but I had no option but to check in. I got a room on 4th (top) floor. When I got up in the morning, the view from the window was very calm and peaceful. It had rained the previous night, and everything was clean and tidy. At the moment I realized the advantage of the taking a journey across the countr...

I toured the continent of South America in 2016 from March to August. Seeds of my journey were planted in year 2007 when my super boss, a Brazilian himself,  heard my  travel story of motorcycling from Kharagpur (West Bengal) to Jaipur (Rajasthan) India (in 2006 after my Post graduation). It was a Department selection interview in my company and our directors was assessing all the trainee and after listening to my long travel of about 2000 km, he suggested me to read the book "The Motorcycle diaries" by Che Guevara. I purchased the book and read first two pages and decided "I am not gonna read this book , I am gonna live it.". Yes the ' Desi-Che-Guevera' style you may  say :) The book remained with me for ten years and reminded me, every time I saw it, of my self commitment to tour the Latin America. With a humble background and a need to earn for family, it  was not easy to venture into such tour. Travel in general was a luxury and touring on motorcycle in ...
