  • About Me

    My name is Luke Keeler and I grew up in the beautiful state of North Carolina in the United States of America! I love to travel and experience new cultures and see the absolute stunning beauty of this world! My love for travel started when I was a child and my parents took me to visit my family that lives in England. From the first time hearing accents to seeing the beautiful centuries old structures of individual homes and buildings mixed in with the modern architecture of today, I was fascinated with traveling and the differences between cultures.ords.
