‘INSPIRING INDEPENDENCE THROUGH TRAVEL’Despite losing my sight (registered blind/legally blind) due to a genetic version of Macular Dystrophy some 20 years ago, I still travel extensively mostly by myself. A great deal of travel is playing in blind/disabled golf events worldwide as I am one of the top blind/disabled golfers in the world having won 16 major titles in blind and disabled golf.I am posting podcasts from my travels around the world, Tibet, the USA, South Africa, the Khyber Pass in Pakistan, Atlantis resort in the Bahamas and many more.I cycled 3500 miles from Vancouver, Canada to Panama City in Panama down the Pacific coast through 8 countries in 4 months with a friend who I followed behind most of the way, follow the podcasts (cycling blind) of the whole trip over the coming months).New episodes of the epic 8 country, 3500 mile trip on a weekly basis.The aim of these podcasts is simply to inspire others who are victims of sight loss, to carry on doing something they love.....
