British writer Richard Avis is having the time of his life - travelling the planet looking for people who were born on the same day as him.
Richard - born on December 1 1974 in Dumfries, Scotland - has already tracked down nine so-called 'time twins' in locations as far flung as New York and Ireland.
"The idea is to track down 40 people born on the same day as me and record what they've achieved in the same time span and put their stories into a book," explained Richard, now searching for a time twin in Croatia. So far his haul includes a US movie director, an Italian mayor, an Irish writer, an Olympic athlete in Norway, a Swedish lawyer, and a Dutch female bodybuilder. "Apart from being a lot of fun to do and read, I hope it will make some important discoveries about how people's lives are shaped by their environment and culture," he added. via
