The Best of June

From the world's most expensive hamburger to the world's largest restaurant, there was a lot to feast on in June. We also discovered 'lost' pyramids, creative music videos and inspirational travelers. And we started following an exciting around-the-world trip.

It all added up to the busiest month yet at Following the Equator.
