Four Countries! Over 40,000 Kilometres! 100 days.
Most of you would have read Jules Verne’s book Around the World in 80 days or at least seen the film. I , London Swaminathan , did go around half of the world in one hundred days. I left London on December 11, 2024 and came back on 20th March 2025. I covered over 40,000 kilometres by travelling to Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and India. Two times I had transit at Frankfurt airport in Germany. But I can claim only covering half of the world because I did not touch American and African continents. Following are the places I visited:
