DIARY OF A VIRTUAL TRAVELLER

26 Countries in 2.6 Days

Like others, having to socially isolate means I’m stuck at home and yearning to get out and about. So to make use of this time I’m doing the 2.6 Challenge, raising money for two charities : Scoliosis Association UK and NHS Charities. My challenge? Visiting 26 countries in 2.6 days - from the comfort of my armchair!
