Good news faithful followers! As long-time readers of Partout know (and doubtless anticipate), there are (admittedly rare) moments when Louis’s camera lens replaces Doris’s keyboard.
This is one of those moments you’ve been waiting for.
Scroll on for some of Louis’s favorite shots from our first two Stan countries: Kyrgyzstan, the Switzerland of Central Asia, and not-Borat’s Kazhastan.

Lake Titicaca! Which I’d say is more scenic.
