The most devoted fan of the Starbucks coffee house lives in Houston Raphael Lozano travels around the world with one goal: to visit another institution of your favorite network and take a picture against his background. The American spent more than 162 thousand USD on his hobby, visiting 11 733 coffee houses.

"This is very interesting. Even though some people think that the idea is a little crazy, I want to visit all places around the world, "Lozano says. "Initially, it was only a hypothetical question, which over time grew into an obsession," says the American about his hobby. "But while for most people this would remain a hypothetical question, I decided to try it all."

42-year-old American began to travel to coffee shops in 1997, when the Starbucks network was only 1, 5 thousand coffee houses in 4 countries. Since the company is constantly expanding, the American has to travel more and more to keep up with the favorite institution.

When visiting every new Starbucks, an American drinks a cup of coffee in the cafe and makes selfie on the background of the entrance. But the institutions of the popular network are not only opening up, but sometimes closing.

The peak of network development occurred in 2007, when the company opened 290 establishments a week - it was physically impossible to visit them. But then there was a certain decline, some coffee shops even had to be closed, so the restless American struggles to catch up.

Once the man had to decide on a round-the-world trip, as he recognized at the last moment. With just 40 coffee chains ready to close in Egypt, Kuwait, Lebanon and Hawaii,

Rafael understands that he can barely keep up with the huge company, but he continues to pursue more and more new institutions. Realizing that it is hardly possible to visit all coffee houses, the American has excluded franchise outlets from his list.

"I understand that this is difficult, but I do not give up and I still hope to visit all Starbucks establishments in the world," says the most devoted admirer network.
