Amar Latif was told, aged four, that he would be blind by the time he was eighteen. However, his lack of sight hasn't prevented him from experiencing the world. He's travelled extensively visiting over a hundred countries and taken up skydiving, bungee jumping and ski-ing. Whenever Amar travels he relies on someone sighted to guide him. In return he opens their eyes and all their senses to a completely different way of travelling. In this new travel format, Amar is joined by comedian Sara Pascoe as he attempts to open her eyes to the potential of travelling blind and 'seeing' the world differently. The destination is Turkey and their journey takes them off the beaten track as they explore the country's bustling cities, remote mountains and extra-ordinary landscapes. What becomes clear is that Sara and Amar travel in completely different ways. Sara prefers to stand back and observe while Amar needs to be in the thick of things.
