It’s DAY 9 and I’m here in the very epicentre of London England, and this city is capital of what
was once the greatest empire the world has ever seen.
It’s played many roles through its history but what really lies behind the well known
face ?
What is it like today ? And how did that compare to 1872, the year Jules
Verne’s ‘Around the World in 80 Days’ was set. I want to know. I want to get an idea of this special place, a place I haven’t been to for over a decade.
I want to discover how history still courses through its streets I want to get
immersed in its living traditions and I want to understand why the locals here
love the great and sprawling metropolis of London.
Join me on an unforgettable Round the World adventure solo film adventure “80DAYS” 80 Episode odyssey.

This solo one man odyssey, was crafted in the shadow of Jules Verne’s immortal prose ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, but more than a nod to literary genius—it is an homage to the insatiable human thirst for discovery.
A thirst some poetically inclined termed ‘Wanderlust’.
