Travelers with disabilities and those in wheelchairs are met with unique challenges that make traveling difficult. We believe that everyone, regardless of circumstances, should have the same opportunities to travel around the globe and be able to do that without limits - that is our mission.
At Wheel the World, we know how hard it can be to have a smooth flight experience. For non-disabled people, flying can be stressful, but for wheelchair users who are flying it can be very intimidating.
My parents took my sister Maisy and me down to Savannah, Georgia, where we then road-tripped up to Charleston, South Carolina. We began our trip in the North Historic District of Savannah at Zunzi's, a cute neighborhood spot to order cocktails outside gathered around picnic tables.
I flew to a conference just for a chance to meet a celebrity. Not being scheduled to deliver a speech or serve on a panel, I just wanted to be near disability rights champion Judy Heumann.
