About Me-

Photographer > Explorer > Travel Expert

Hi! I’m Luca, but you can call me Lou. I’m a traveler and the creator of Hello World, Here I Come. At 17 years old I dropped out of high school to travel, and now I explore the world full time.

I’ve visited 13+ countries on 5 continents, some of them more than 10 times. I’ve become an expert on traveling the world young, solo, safe, and on a budget- and through my blog posts, travel tips, and itinerary planning service, I hope to help other people travel the world too.

Travel changed my life, and if I can do it, so can you!
