“There are no strangers. Only friends you haven’t met.”
This is Allan Karl’s philosophy, and he truly walks the walk. I should know. I first met Allan when I started traveling to the United States, introducing Portugal to American motorcycle aficionados. We became fast friends, and through the years, have shared our great passion for motorcycles, yes, but also for culture, connection, food, wine and the spirit of adventure.
So the more I looked at Portugal and the philosophy and passion that drives Miguel and his Portugal Motorcycle Tours, I realized that if I was ever going to help host and guide a motorcycle tour, this would be the best experience. The Northern Portugal tour has just the right balance of adventure, challenging riding and yet it is all delivered as a five-star experience—something I never get a chance to participate in when traveling alone.
