Educating the audience about how a visually impaired person manages to
survive and thrive in a sight dependent world using technology, their
remaining senses, an adventurous spirit plus a whole lot of courage.
Christopher Venter is an adventurer and writer based in Cape Town, South
Africa. In 2008, Chris, working as a chef at the time, embarked on an
expedition across Africa to Ireland. During the 32,000km scooter trip,
Chris, unfortunately, fell ill and this led to him losing his sight.
Today he is known as the Blind Scooter Guy and thrives on sharing with
his readers how he can and does experience the world through all his
available senses. He draws from the journey pre- and post sight loss to
inspire everyone he meets.
Chris refers to himself as a Writer, Accessibility Buddy, Adventurer,
Vintage Scooter Enthusiast, Chef, Scuba Diver, Fisherman, Guitar Player,
Boxer, Petrolhead and Roamer of the Globe! Through his work he hopes to
inspire adventure seekers to get themselves out there, to go and
explore, to enjoy every sensory opportunity and to live their lives to
the fullest.
