Karl Creelman: The Forgotten Canadian Who Biked Around the World – and the Woman Bringing His Story Back

In 1899, Karl Creelman decided to travel. With little money and a lack of fast ways to travel, he decided to ride his bike! He literally biked around the globe and made it back to Nova Scotia in 1902! I find it incredible this guy isn’t more well-known, and I’m not the only one! Louise Trotter is a travel blogger and photographer who, after learning about Karl’s journey, retraced his steps and traveled his route on her own! I had a chance to speak with her about the experience!
