The medical profession has always heavily suggested to me that I lead a regular, structured life in order to maintain a controlled blood sugar but I decided early on that I would be the boss of my diabetes not the other way round. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/corn-flake-traveller\/travelling-diabetes\/\">Click to read more about Travelling with Diabetes<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/r5_zLIk18l4\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_257_KOMIKASL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 17px;\">The intro to my Youtube channel for a quick glance at what I do<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; color: #ffffff;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-758\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSCF1803-1024x687.jpg\" alt=\"DSCF1803\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSCF1803-1024x687.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSCF1803-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSCF1803-223x150.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/DSCF1803-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-half ezcol-last\"><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 16px;\">I went to college in London, then at the age of 19 went to Nottingham intending to cure diseases and build a career in biomedical research. I found the course fascinating but I wasn\u2019t convinced that I wanted to spend my life focusing on such a narrow piece of our reality and when faced with the choice of spending time studying about cell surface proteins on bacteria or going clubbing and socializing there was no contest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 16px;\">With graduation came the prospect of joining the \u201creal world\u201d so to avoid that I worked 11 months in a call centre (creating mundane statistics) before flying to Anchorage on the 2<sup style=\"font-size: 12px;\">nd<\/sup> September 2002 with a friend I met at Uni.

Over the years I have\u00a0worked as a courier in New York, a barman, a data analyst, a lab assistant in a cancer research lab, a painter\/decorator, a dive master\u00a0in Honduras and many more less exciting sounding professions. Problem is if you try different jobs you always find yourself at the bottom of a ladder earning a low wage meaning I have had to fight to try and keep my spending low.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ezcol ezcol-one-third\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1029\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Vaucluse 2013 (156)-4 - Smaller\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/Vaucluse-2013-156-4-Smaller.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_257_KOMIKASL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 17px;\">Working for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.headwater.com\" target=\"_blank\">Headwater<\/a> in Provence<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 15px;\"><span id=\"inserted2719\" style=\"color: #fafafa;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 15px;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-926\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMGP2887-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/IMGP2887-11.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"fontplugin_fontid_257_KOMIKASL\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 17px;\">Camping on a wall in Rome rather than getting a hotel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 15px;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 15px;\"><\/div> <div class=\"ezcol ezcol-two-third ezcol-last\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 16px;\">I added up the cost of each trip and was surprised to find out I had spent so little\u00a0(<strong style=\"font-size: 15px;\">see table below)<\/strong>. \u00a336,800 sounds like a lot but it was spread over 10 years and when you consider I probably spent a similar amount on alcohol during 3 years at Uni I can\u2019t imagine getting better value for money.

I was sure somebody would have achieved it throughout the ages so to be unique I added some spice to my cause with the Corn Flake eating, which I figured was probably a unique feat in the entire universe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 16px;\">The idea developed when I was in a hammock\u00a0on a beach in Mexico and I suddenly got the munchies so\u00a0devoured a box of corn flakes but I didn\u2019t start taking it seriously or taking photos until the end of my European cycle. Now I am choosing beautiful locations or typical scenes from that country and having a full-on photo shoot while I eat.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; color: #ffffff;\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-937\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cornflaketraveller.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/1.-Tattoo-40-300x224.jpg\" alt=\"1.
