A man who quit his full-time job in favour of travelling the world and taking pictures of his feet in the process has travelled over 100,000 miles and visited 19 countries so far.
Ross Mowbray, 29, swapped a full-time IT career to become a part-time IT recruiter, and now travels as much as possible in his spare time, with his trips taking him to places such as Egypt, Iceland, and Thailand.
And while he's holidaying in some of the world's most beautiful locations, he never misses the opportunity to take a selfie of his feet to share with his Instagram followers.
Ross, who often posts about his travels on Instagram, explained he decided to start taking the pictures to give viewers "a feeling of actually being" at the locations he photographs.
He said: "I was working full time in the same job, but then started doing fewer hours in order to fit the travel in as well! I've only really started doing the POV [point of view] feet photos in the last year or two, which means I'll have to revisit some previously visited countries in order to take different photos.
"I wanted to give any viewer of my photos more of a feeling of actually being there themselves, hence the POV style of a lot of my photos. I also hadn't really seen a great deal of photos done in this way, which also made me want to take them myself."
Ross, from Oxfordshire, also insisted his travels haven't all taken place at once, and he's actually been on several smaller trips, spending upwards of £10,000 on his holidays so far.
"I haven't been on one long trip around the world, rather lots of smaller trips," he explained.
"The full list of countries I've visited are: Scotland, Wales, Norway, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Thailand, Cambodia, USA, Australia, Dubai, Egypt, Spain, Italy, France, Hungary, Greece, Czech Republic, and Brunei. Some I, unfortunately, didn't get to properly explore, so will also have to revisit those at some point.
"I'm grateful to have been able to experience some cool moments, but the best would probably be swimming with whale sharks in Western Australia. Closely followed by finally seeing the Pyramids in Egypt after only seeing them in movies or in photos."
And the man has advice for other people looking to travel the world too, as he said to shop around for around for cheaper flights to get the best deal - and urged people not to spend too much time "looking through your camera".
He added: "My advice for anyone would be to not spend too much time looking through your camera.
"If it's possible for you to spend a little extra money to do something you've always wanted to, you won't regret doing so, and some places are cheaper to get to than you might think. Some flights, for example, are cheaper than a train ticket to London."
