Louis's Travels

a 28 year old male from Cambridge

So, this started off as a way to tell my parents where i was during my whirlwind tour of the world...but even though my RTW ticket has expired, my tour hasnt and my passion to live new places and people has not fallen, but intensified... thus, this journal is really a lifetime work in progress...

Louis has visited 28 places in 65 cities in 24 countries and has written 20 travel blogs with 79 entries.
