Devon Gallagher，一个来自费城的大学毕业生，以独特的方式分享她的全球旅行照片。她在四岁时因骨病截肢，但如今她视此为激励自己过上最好生活的动力。Devon在社交媒体上分享旅行照片，但不使用地理位置标签，而是将地点写在她的假肢上拍照。这一创新举动让她在全球各地留下了独特的足迹，如在荷兰阿姆斯特丹的运河上骑行，西班牙巴塞罗那的墙头放松，比利时布鲁塞尔品尝华夫饼，希腊雅典的帕特农神庙前留影，以及匈牙利布达佩斯的河畔游船。她的积极反馈让她充满热情，决定尝试更多，证明了没有什么能阻挡她追求梦想的脚步。
4. Devon Gallagher, a college graduate from Philadelphia, wants the world to know exactly where she’s been during her worldwide vacation in a special way.
The traveler, who was born with a bone disease, had her right leg amputated(截肢) at the age of four. Although the amputation caused setbacks for Gallagher early on, she now sees it as inspiration for living her best life. To spread that message, Gallagher has taken to social media, where she shares photos of her travels across the globe, but instead of using geo-tag (地理位置标签), she writes her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across the Continent, which show her cycling over the canal in Amsterdam, Holland, relaxing on a wall overlooking the city of Barcelona, Spain, posing with a waffle (华夫饼) in Brussels, Belgium, taking in the impressive Parthenon temple in Athens, Greece, and enjoying a river cruise in Budapest, Hungary, all with the well-known locations written on her artificial leg.
“I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it. One day I had a sudden thought to get a chalk-board,” Gallagher said. “My mum and grandmother weren’t too keen on the idea, but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it, so I did.”
“When I’m writing on my leg, people often stare, looking puzzled, but once I share the photos, I receive only positive feedback. Seeing this, I feel much fired up and decide to try more. My leg hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I’ve wanted to do. I don’t know if it’s my determination to prove to myself that I can do it, but regardless, I’ve been able to keep up with my peers and lead a pretty great life,” said Gallagher.
