The Moving Company has had the privilege of assisting Carl and Isabel with the import of their motorbikes into New Zealand as they continue their journey around the world.
The plates on their bikes, “LF02” represent their second marriage – their second life together.
To date, they have travelled by motorcycle from the United Kingdom through Alaska, Central America, South America, Antarctica, and Africa, to name just a few of the continents they’ve visited. For the past two and a half years they have been on the road and expect to continue their adventure for another two years.
From every continent, they collect a cuddly toy as a memento, and on the dash of each bike they proudly display a flag from every country they have visited.
Their journey began after a life-changing moment: eight years ago, Isabel was diagnosed with breast cancer. The experience brought clarity and purpose, and after completing treatment in August 2023, they set off to see the world.
Carl and Isabel have now arrived in New Zealand, where their crates were waiting at The Moving Company’s Auckland facility. Unopened and untouched, their bikes – as Carl commented “looked good and clean,” ready to ride and explore the sights of New Zealand.
Remarkably, their bikes have crossed borders over 30 times, shipped or flown four times with no issues along the way.
From all of us at The Moving Company, we wish Carl and Isabel safe travels and unforgettable moments as they continue their extraordinary journey. It has been an honour to play a small part in their adventure, and we look forward to following the next chapters of Life 2 on Tour.
