Before she loses her sight completely, Tiggi Trethowan is determined to accomplish her 'visual memory list', visiting places she particularly loves or wants to travel to. Accompanied by a sighted guide and her black Labrador Jackie, she has already been to Patagonia, Chile and Argentina, with the most remarkable experience being Antarctica, which she explored on a fishing boat. The 'highlight' of the list has been a trip to Wales to see humpback whales, sleeping on a beach in pods one night and being surrounded by over 30 whales in a field during the day.

Prior to her vision deteriorating, Tiggi Trethowan is determined to create a 'visual memory list' filled with all the places she has and still wants to visit. With the help of her guide and her black Labrador Jackie, she has been to Patagonia, Chile, Argentina, Antarctica and Wales. In Wales, she experienced the 'pinnacle' of her list, observing over 30 humpback whales at a scientific station on a remote island. To ensure she has lasting memories, Tiggi describes how she 'physically stops and clicks her eyes almost like a camera and consciously stores it as a mental photograph'.
