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 humour. 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!
