Fly around the world with a famous travel vlogger
Take part in a crazy, global adventure with travel YouTuber FunForLouis.
Louis Cole is one of the biggest names in travel, with nearly two million subscribers to his YouTube channel FunForLouis. The vlogger, who posts daily about his adventures around the world, is set for one of his biggest yet – a global circumnavigation of the world in a twin-engined light aircraft.
In August 2017, Louis and his friend, the adventurer and filmmaker Juan-Peter Schulze, will strap themselves in for a 90 day journey covering 22 countries and over 40,000 miles. They will be filming a documentary about the common humanity in all of us – no matter how different our lives and worlds might be.
Think that sounds ace? Want to join him and his friend the adventurer and filmmaker Juan-Peter Schulze? Hands waving in the air? Yes, us too…

They’ve just launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise some moola for the expedition. Donate to their goal of £100,000 and you will receive everything from a production diary (£5), a personal video message (£70), your name on the plane (£400) – or for £500 you can even join them for a 30-minute flight in the plane.
Feeling particularly flush? If you pledge £8,000 or more you can join them for a section of the journey. They will fly you out to meet them, host you for several days, and bring you along as a passenger in the plane. Might be worth checking down the back of the sofa for any loose change...
