He travels alone, although he points out that travellers are rarely alone for long. He has gone bungee jumping, taken mud baths, cruised Antarctica, fed penguins, explored ancient ruins. Tony claims to travel for more or less the same reasons other young people do. He talks about sense of adventure, the urge to escape from convention life and the trappings of responsibility and the challenge of doing something new. He has also written book, called Seeing the World My Way. What makes Tony truly remarkable, however, is that unlike most travellers, he is completely blind and 80 percent deaf. He says: ‘People often ask why blind person would want to travel the world when they cant see anything when they get there. It is good question from sighted persons perspective, but travelling is more than just seeing the beautiful scenery or landscape with your eyes. It is being able to engage with people, feeling different textures, being exposed to an alternative, exciting culture, immersing into another country, and returning home knowing more than did before left. Meeting the people, enjoying the food, the sounds, the smells, the atmosphere – can take it all in. Tony adds: ‘Travelling allows me to experience the world in multitude of ways. Travelling enables me to obtain great global education: tasting unknown foods, hearing new music, and feeling the contours and gradients of mountains, valleys and rivers cannot really be achieved at home or in the study environment – you have to travel to experience life. can travel because of four things – confidence, wanting to travel, good mobility skills and planning. have proved that nothing – even disabilities – can stop you living full life.
