Tony Giles has visited 128 countries around the world. He is also totally blind and 80% deaf.
He has written three books about his travels and seeing the world his way. His ultimate goal is to travel to every country in the world.
In an interview with Forbes, Tony said : “people who say they’d like to travel but have family, a job, a mortgage, are simply making excuses. Anyone can travel if they really want to. It doesn’t have to cost much. I think the majority of people are afraid of the unknown and prefer to stay within their comfort zone.”
If this episode doesn’t inspire you to book to that trip, then nothing will.
