TRAVEL

This page of the site contains all of my travel information, tips, hacks and discoveries that I have made while traversing the planet. Anytime we travel, by car, train, bus, or air, there are many steps. The disabled traveler needs to add more. It can be difficult, and sometimes frustrating, but services around the globe for the disabled traveller are improving and the efforts are well worth the rewards.

So as not to reinvent the wheel here (wheel? see what I did there?), here are a few outstanding sites that you should check out if you are a disabled individual planning a trip. I picked these all by myself, and no one gave me any fat stacks to add them on here. All opinions are my own and they are in no particular order.

  1. My PRINTABLE WHEELCHAIR SIGNS: LINK
  2. https://wheeltheworld.com Very helpful as this is sortable by what you want to do. Nature? Adventure? Beach? City? Also has personal stories.
  3. https://www.homeexchange.com You may already be familiar with this type of thing, but finding wheelchair accessible hotel rooms is not always easy. Why not trade houses with someone while you are on vacation? They get it…you get it. Those of us that live with chronic illness recognize the look in someone’s eye who also does. If they say their house is accessible….it likely is. This site is not free, but a pretty cool idea.
  4. https://www.accessable.co.uk Headed to the UK or Ireland? Check this out.
  5. https://wheelchairtraveling.com A site leading to other sites that leads to disabled traveling sites with more sites that have sites. Sites. Lot’s of sites here. Did I mention that there are links to sites?
  6. https://curbfreewithcorylee.com OK I am jealous of this guy. Mostly because I didn’t think of it first. This dude is sponsored by a bunch of companies to travel around the world and report on accessibility. I used his advice as I recently visited Barcelona Spain with my wife and he was spot on with his recommendations. I used the same hotel that he did and wondered aloud to my wife if we were staying in “The Cory Lee Room.” He has a tab on his site saying “work with me.” I’m going to investigate this. I’m happy to be paid to travel around with my wife and children and see how wheelchair friendly the globe is….or isn’t. Let’s do this.

Want personal travel advice? GO OUT AND EXPLORE. It’s worth it. Seeing the country and the world changes and improves your perspective on life. That’s always a good thing.
