Synopsis

Have you ever wanted to get out and see the far-flung corners of the world? How about if you found out that you were going blind at an accelerated rate and only had 10% of your vision remaining? What if this meant you couldn't really "see" the world properly and you had all the common sense of a moth with a bewilderingly stupid affinity for fire? What if this meant running a marathon across a frozen Mongolian lake, participating in tribal rituals in Cameroon and Ethiopia, or looking suspicious when you were crossing the Mexico-US border on foot? Still keen? Well, come and join Aaron on his globe-spanning, meandering journey through life with all the ups, downs and "what the heck?" moments included, as he tries to balance coming to terms with his diagnosis and forging ahead with experiencing some truly unique things from across all seven continents.

About this title

About the Author

Aaron R. Everitt is a British author who currently lives in London. At age thirty, he was diagnosed with a life-changing condition called choroideremia, which forced him to reassess his life and come to terms with what the future may hold for him. However, he has coupled this with an array of truly wild adventures across the globe that would be challenging even without limited vision. This book tells his story so far.
