Using My Journey to Inspire Hope
"My life is basically over." These are the words my mom whispered a few days after a severe stroke left her paralyzed on her dominant side. The years to come would be a journey of discovering how poorly the world had been built to accommodate people in wheelchairs.
​
Having recently found a level of recovery and stability after years of debilitating chronic illness, I decided to finally chase my lifelong dream of traveling full-time in an RV. I had done the research before, but never through the lens of having limited abilities. After my experience with my mom, I knew I couldn't fall into the rut of "being sick," I had to find a way to live again.
​
Through my journey, my mission is to build a resource for people to find information on traveling with disabilities of all sorts. I'm building a database of the places I visit, rating their accessibility and inclusivity. I'm documenting my challenges and the solutions to overcome them, with the goal of building a community where disabled travelers can find support and resources to inspire everyone follow their dreams.
Share Your Experience
While my experience navigating the world with disability is extensive, it's certainly not all encompassing. The needs created by disability are as unique as the individual.
I am always seeking input from the disabled community, please share your experience here!
