In 2014 alone, Cole has traveled across six continents via more than one hundred flights. Whether camel surfing in India or exploring bat tunnels in Vietnam, Cole brings millions of armchair adventurers along on his journeys through FunForLouis, as well as his vibrant Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and Snapchat communities.
