After Louis Philippe left Reichenau, he separated the now 16-year-old Adélaïde from the Countess of Genlis, who had fallen out with Louis Philippe. Adélaïde went to live with her great-aunt the [[Maria Fortunata d'Este|Princess of Conti]] at [[Fribourg]], then to [[Electorate of Bavaria|Bavaria]] and [[Kingdom of Hungary (1526-1867)|Hungary]] and, finally, to her mother, who was exiled in Spain. Louis Philippe travelled extensively. He visited Scandinavia in 1795 and then moved on to Finland. For about a year he stayed in [[Muonio]], a remote village in the valley of the [[Tornio river]] in [[Lapland (Finland)|Lapland]]. He lived in the [[rectory]] under the name Müller, as a guest of the local [[Lutheran]] vicar. While visiting Muonio, he supposedly fathered a child with Beata Caisa Wahlborn (1766–1830) called Erik Kolstrøm (1796–1879).<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=1981-09-12 |title=Kom Inn!

Louis Philippe visited the [[United States]] ({{Circa | 1796}} to 1798), staying in [[Philadelphia]] (where his brothers [[Antoine Philippe, Duke of Montpensier|Antoine]] and [[Louis-Charles, Count of Beaujolais|Louis Charles]] were in exile), [[New York City]] (where he most likely stayed at the [[Somerindyck House|Somerindyck family estate]] on Broadway north of modern 75th Street with other exiled princes), and [[Boston]]. In Boston, he taught French for a time and lived in lodgings over what is now the [[Union Oyster House]], Boston's oldest restaurant. During his time in the United States, Louis Philippe met with American politicians and people of high society, including [[George Clinton (vice president)|George Clinton]], [[John Jay]], [[Alexander Hamilton]], and [[George Washington]].

Louis Philippe's visit to [[Cape Cod]] in 1797 coincided with the division of the town of Eastham into two towns, one of which took the name of Orleans, possibly in his honour. During their sojourn, the Orléans princes travelled throughout the country, as far south as [[Nashville]] and as far north as [[Maine]]. The brothers were even held in Philadelphia briefly during an outbreak of [[yellow fever]]. Louis Philippe is also thought to have met Isaac Snow of [[Orleans, Massachusetts|Orleans]], Massachusetts, who had escaped to France from a British [[prison hulk]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]]. In 1839, while reflecting on his visit to the United States, Louis Philippe explained in a letter to [[François Guizot]] that his three years there had a large influence on his political beliefs and judgments when he became king.

In Boston, Louis Philippe learned of the [[coup of 18 Fructidor]] (4 September 1797) and of the exile of his mother to Spain. He and his brothers then decided to return to Europe. They went to [[New Orleans]], planning to sail to [[Havana]] and thence to Spain. This, however, was a troubled journey, as Spain and [[Kingdom of Great Britain|Great Britain]] were then [[Anglo-Spanish War (1796–1808)|at war]]. While in [[Louisiana (New Spain)|colonial Louisiana]] in 1798, they were entertained by [[Julien Poydras]] in the town of [[Point Coupee, Louisiana|Pointe Coupée]],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Saucier |first=Corinne L. |title=History of Avoyelles Parish |date=1943 |page=27}}</ref> as well as by the [[Bernard de Marigny#Early life|Marigny de Mandeville]] family in New Orleans.

The three brothers sailed for Havana in an American [[corvette]], but a British warship intercepted their ship in the [[Gulf of Mexico]]. The British seized the brothers, but took them to Havana anyway. Unable to find passage to Europe, the brothers spent a year in Cuba (from spring 1798 to autumn 1799), until they were unexpectedly expelled by the Spanish authorities. They sailed via [[the Bahamas]] to [[Nova Scotia]], where they were received by the [[Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn|Duke of Kent]], son of [[King George III]] and (later) father of [[Queen Victoria]]. Louis Philippe struck up a lasting friendship with the British prince. Eventually, the brothers sailed back to New York, and in January 1800, they arrived in England, where they stayed for the next fifteen years. During these years, Louis Philippe taught mathematics and geography at the now-defunct [[Great Ealing School]], reckoned, in its 19th-century heyday, to be "the best private school in England".<ref>Compare: {{Cite web |title=Ealing and Brentford: Education |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/middx/vol7/pp162-170 |website=British History Online |quote=Great Ealing school was founded in 1698. ...
