I died in 2010 as I ran out of energy to breathe in and beat my own heart due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The thought of photographing every country in the world - the 200 club - and the poles brought me back. Can you help me realise my second chance life ambition of photographing every country?
My life ambition now includes a Travelling Tea Towel, as my region registered a flag in 2012 and I want to photograph it in as many iconic places as possible.
I don't simply want to be a tourist. I want to live as other people do, to immerse myself in their culture, speak their language, honour their dress, sample their food, travel their way. I want to respect what has come before around the world, and use that knowledge to shape a better future.
I'm a Doctor Who fan, and wearing a fez in a place known for them would be cool, as Matt Smith says, fezzes are cool. ๐
