Who is behind the LA VUELTA DEL MUNDO project?

LA VUELTA DEL MUNDO was established by Christophe Frommelt, an experienced traveler with an impressive record of visiting almost 60 countries. His extensive travels have equipped him with a robust skill set for overcoming various challenges encountered abroad, including administrative hurdles, visa intricacies, transportation logistics, infrastructure nuances, and much more.

 

He has lived abroad for a total of over 10 years in 3 different countries and has first-hand knowledge of many details about these countries (Japan, New Zealand, and India), as well as the associated difficulties, whether on administrative or cultural levels. Christophe speaks and reads 4 languages fluently, which gives him an advantage abroad.

 

However, he considers all this, at least in his opinion, as secondary aspects that may look good on paper but remain superficial nonetheless. In his view, the true strength lies not only in staying in the different countries but also in mingling with the people, participating in the culture and experiences. Cycle touring is one of the best way achieving this. All this is what Chris can offer to travelers, in addition to the skills mentioned above.
