CURRENT MISSION

To explore INDIA!!

ABOUT ME

We are two friends who have known each other since school; currently we're traveling around India from Trivandrum to Delhi. We'd love to meet new people that can show us around all the best places rather than lonely planet being our bible. If you have a spare couch we would love to hear from you. ( we're friendly- promise) :)

LOUIS
I'm 19 and after traveling around India I'm going to Manchester University to study Politics and International Relations.
I love learning about the history of cultures and countries; with this being my first trip i hope to catch the travel bug and do more in the future!!
-Travel Ambitions: Venezuela, Mexico, New Zealand, Fiji, East Africa and more time in India

HANNAH
I'm going to Newcastle university in September to study dentistry, but first I'm taking a year out to explore! I was in Kenya at the end of last year for 3 months living with host families (my favourite was a maasai family). While i was out there i volunteered as a teacher in 2 orphanages and a school.
