Description

When Chris, at the age of 40 years, very suddenly lost his sight, he thought that his world had come to an end. He questioned how he would make his dreams a reality and how he could beat sight loss. When he heard about the 19th century, blind explorer, James Holman, he became curious. After much contemplation, a whole lot of patience and bucket loads of sheer determination, he came up with a crazy plan. He would traverse the same route as Holman's first expedition did and make a comparison between modern day travel and a journey of the past.


Engross yourself in this crazy Multifaceted Mediterranean Mobility Meander, as he travels sightless all the way from Sicily to Southern France. See how he manages to enjoy his epic journey through the sense of Sound, Smell, Taste and Touch. Join him as he undertakes some of the very challenges that Holman faced and follows in the footsteps of the first blind adventurer to circumnavigate the world.


From climbing the active volcano, Mount Etna, on Sicily to sea kayaking along the Amalfi coast. From eating a pizza at its birth place in Napoli, to feasting with a local family on Sardinia. From hiking in the forests of Tuscany, to cycling on a Tandem bike around the wall of an ancient town. From swimming in the Mediterranean Sea to making the perfect Creme Brûlée with a French chef. Chris will keep you laughing as you join him on the adventure of a lifetime using his remaining four senses. You will be entertained as you see how he undertakes to prove his #BlindManCan theory. A story that culminates with a life changing twist.


About the Author


Christopher, aka “The Blind Scooter Guy”, writes stories for readers who have an interest or passion for travel and adventure. This crazy wordsmith thrives on sharing with his readers how he can and does experience the world through all his available senses.


Allow the Blind Scooter Guy to engage your imagination as he shares the stories of his epic expeditions. Whether you are a traveller, biker or scooterist planning your first trip or an enthusiastic armchair explorer looking to immerse yourself in adventure, the Blind Scooter Guy’s stories are for you!


He inspires adventure seekers to get themselves out there, to go and explore, to enjoy every sensory opportunity and to live their lives to the fullest.


Christopher’s work draws from a lifetime of experiences both pre and post- sight loss. His poignant and persuasive stories are most often told with a wry sense of humor.


In his previous book, How I became the Blind Scooter Guy he tells the story of how he rode on a little 150cc two-stroke Vespa scooter, with no support vehicle, all the way from his hometown Cape Town, South Africa to Dublin, Ireland. This trip was where he sadly became ill. An illness that culminated in his sight loss. The book then tells how he put the pieces of his broken life back together and became the travel and adventure writer that he had always aspired to become.


Today, he works as both a writer and a professional inspirational speaker. He is not only an amazing storyteller, he is also an accidental accessibility advocate, an intrepid adventurer, a vintage scooter collector, restorer and enthusiast, a chef, a scuba diver, fisherman, guitar player, boxer, all round petrolhead and roamer of the globe – all this despite his lack of sight.


His words show how, using just the remaining senses of sound, smell, taste and touch, he can today see the world. This is sometimes in a very different way and more often than not, in a clearer way than he ever did while sighted.


When asked how he accomplishes so much, he quips, "You can eat an elephant if you just take one bite at a time!"
