Travel has become one of the most popular topics, and now hundreds of travelers talk about their trips, share their experiences and travel-blogging tips. I am no exception.
I, Robert Newton, am a well-liked vacationer and intricate traveler. I can pack my bags and be in another country on the same day. But I am a patriot and I love my homeland, so this blog is about London and since I love walking and in general love nature, it is about the parks. I hope you enjoy it.
