Welcome to the exciting website of Tony Giles – blind world travel extraordinaire.
Tony on the shore of Lake Louise in the Rocky Mountains, Alberta, Canada.
I am a young person, totally blind and 80% deaf in both ears without my hearing aids. I have also recently had a kidney transplant due to renal failure. Yet I have visited every populated continent independently. I have recently completed the goal of visiting all fifty states of the USA. I have also crossed the Arctic Circle and visited all 10 Canadian provinces. My next challenge is to get to Antarctica.
I originate from Weston-super-Mare in the South West of England. At present I live in Teignmouth, Devon.
I have written several books about my world adventures. The books are travel diaries of the observations and experiences of a blind man as he travels around the world.
Other languages: Español, Italiano
Tony’s first book to be published in October!

A totally blind and partially deaf guy’s global adventures by Tony Giles.
This is about my early travels through the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam and Thailand.
A diary-book of my unique way of viewing the world without sight and through mostly hands on experiences and the people I encountered. The book contains basic history and geography of the countries visited while mainly concentrating on an adventurous story of drink and adrenalin activities.
