ACCESS GUIDES INDIVIDUALS ORGANISATIONS PRODUCTS
| People who use wheelchairs or other equipment for independence are often hesitant about traveling, since some destinations aren’t wheelchair accessible. But with a bit of research, you can certainly find places that are wheelchair-friendly. The biggest cities in the world are some of the most wheelchair accessible places you can visit! Check out these disability-friendly cities to visit this year. |
| This is a selection of articles on traveling with a disability. |
| Imagine how much more difficult travel can be for those who have "built-in" communication hurdles due to a hearing impairment. Here are some pointers that may make traveling with a hearing disability a little easier. |
| After I had my paraplegic spinal injury at age 18 I thought my travelling dreams were over and so focused on my career. After years of study I finally became a veterinarian. While being a vet is a huge passion of mine, I felt slightly jealous of my friends who were solo backpacking around Europe for months on end! I thought I would never be able to achieve this dream because of my disability. However one day I woke up thought ‘dammit’, quit my job and bought my ticket and thus the goal to backpack solo in a wheelchair was born.
I started writing this blog so that I could share things I found useful travelling in a wheelchair, places that I found accessible, places that were not and anything else I learned along the way.I hope that if you are a person with a disability wanting to travel (solo or with friends, backpacking or in hotels) that my story can help and motivate you to do so and prove that travelling is not just limited to the able bodied – anything is possible.
Happy travelling.

| Hello, I'm John Morris. I'm a 28-year-old car accident/burn survivor, triple amputee and wheelchair user. I created this wheelchair travel blog to share my experiences traveling the world and overcoming the barriers to accessibility.
After my car accident, I was told that my disability would make travel impossible. That was three years ago, and I have since visited 27 countries & territories and flown more than 500,000 miles - all with one hand, a passport and my power wheelchair! |
| TRAVEL INSURANCE & DISABILITIES 101
Generally speaking if you have a disability it’s not compulsory to declare it to your insurer. However, it can be tricky to give a blanket rule on cover that applies to all types of disabilities. Keep reading for more information. |
