As an agronomist (agricultural expert), I have lived and traveled with my family in many places all over the globe. Living in differences places has given my wife and I a passion for traveling. Together, we have seen many places around the world. We always enjoy meeting new people and having new experiences.
In recent years, my wife began to require assistance with walking. This change required us to modify our travel plans. We’ve become experts at accessible travel that does not compromise on quality or enjoyment.
Fortunately, we are living in the age of information, and with adequate planning, a bit of creativity, and a lot of determination, we have been able to carry out travel plans to many incredible places and enjoy the art, nature, and culture of each place. We do not have to go on organised tours; we’re able to travel on our own, just as we did before.
My suggestion is to always call up the places you intend to visit and ask specific questions about accessibility and facilities. Research the route you intend to drive or walk through and plan for potential obstacles.
Accessible traveling does not have to be boring or limited to those who are not able-bodied. It can be fun and exciting!
Here is a small selection of places we have been to which are perfectly suitable for accessible travel.
