I am Phoebe Howlett and in summer 2017 I intend to travel to every country in the world. I intend to travel alone, whilst documenting the opportunities each country gives me, being open to anything that crosses my path.

I know I have had a very privileged life, however I have spent the last four years of my life battling depression, anxiety, M.E and PoTs, illnesses doctors told me I would never fully recover from, however by some sort of miracle I have recovered (for more please see my website www.thechanceofchoice.com)

-When I complete this it will make me the second women to have ever visited every country in the world, and the only chronic/terminal recovery story to do this.

While travelling I intend to present my story to the younger generation across the world-talking to schools, conferences and youth groups. I aim to open up discussions on mental and chronic health, confidence, female empowerment and self-acceptance.
I will also be working with selected charities aiming to increase female economic empowerment, helping and documenting the work they do and the difference they make.

This funding will be contributing towards the expense required in order to present my story to the younger generation and to help me support the charities through The Chance of Choice.
I am funding travelling to every country through a combination of savings, sponsorship and income generated from my website.
