Here you will find maps of the routes where I am currently, my future plans, and where I have traveled since the beginning of this journey.

Nomad Dave’s Future Route

The beginning of 2026 is proceeding as seems to be the norm of late, bouncing between my two “homes” in Olympia, Washington and Buenos Aires, Argentina just living a “normal” life.  Then on May 19 I flew to Europe and reunite with my motorcycle.  This year I took off from Heidelberg, Germany where my bike is stored and then headed to Scandinavia via Poland.  After a 3 1/2 week ride I returned to Heidelberg and parked the bike.  As life marches on the trips are getting shorter. Gone are the days of open-ended, months long journeys but I still try to keep the adventure alive.

Later in the year will be a 5-week trip to Japan but not by motorcycle.  Back in the 1980’s and 1990’s I lived in Japan for 12 years.  I’ve only been back a few times since 2000 so this is a long anticipated trip.

The next motorcycle adventure in Europe isn’t planned until September, 2027 which will take me to more places on my “must repeat” list.  Stay tuned.

When it is time to hit the road,  I carry a SPOT Trace satellite-based tracking device with me. One reason is for safety. The other is so anyone interested in my journey can easily see where I am at any given time. You can see where I am at any given time while I am on an adventure and where I have been throughout the trip.

Just in case you are interested in a Spot Gen4 device for your own travels I have made it easy for you to purchase one by adding a link to it on Amazon.com.  While there is a cost for the device itself also keep in mind that there is an annual fee for the tracking service of about $150.  They only offer service in 1 year increments.  In addition, to display the map within my own website (as opposed to the user being redirected to Spot’s website) I use a service provided by Spotwalla.com.  It takes a bit of work to understand how to implement it within your own website but it is doable and well worth the effort.
