Jamie’s journey began on March 6 at the Great Wall of China. On March 7, he came to India to see the Taj Mahal. They visited Petra in Jordan on 8 March, the Colosseum in Italy on 9 March, Christ the Redeemer in Brazil on 10 March, Machu Picchu in Peru on 11 March and finally Chichen Itza in Mexico on 12 March. According to reports, in his one-week world tour, Jamie traveled by 13 flights, 16 taxis, 9 buses, 4 trains and a toboggan.
Jamie was battling a rare disease
What makes Jamie’s achievement even more special, according to reports, is that doctors believed she would spend most of her adult life in a wheelchair. He suffered from a rare spinal cord disease called syringomyelia and was in frequent hospital visits until the age of 9. However, his symptoms gradually reduced over time.
GWR’s strict rules for travel
According to media reports, this entire journey of Jamie was planned by ‘Travelport’, a global technology company. However, after starting his journey under GWR rules, he had to complete the journey on his own. Apart from this, he also had to follow some other rules. As such they were to collect clear evidence of their visit in a logbook, record all photos and videos and obtain written statements from an official dignitary at each site.
