In 2023, I received a Guinness World Record for traveling to 66 countries in one year using a wheelchair. To my knowledge, no other wheelchair traveler in the world has done something like this. You might be wondering... how?
Recently, 17 members from the Wheel the World team traveled to El Chaltén - a town in Argentinean Patagonia. In this article, we share the experiences written by two wheelchair-users. We hope this will showcase the adventure, emotions, and inspiration to live the experiences you dream to live.
Since I was little, I had dreamed of entrepreneurship, inspired by the trajectory of my family. At the age of 18, my whole life became entrepreneurial in and of itself after a car accident left me paralyzed from the shoulders down. Like most entrepreneurial endeavors, I had to start from scratch.
Traveling is one of the most enriching and fulfilling experiences life has to offer. It opens doors to new cultures, people, and adventures, allowing you to create lasting memories. However, for those anxious about traveling in a wheelchair, these opportunities can feel out of reach.
First class experiences, memorable adventures and accessibility that is well thought out and specifically curated for your needs (and wants); this is what traveling with Wheel the World feels like. It’s a feeling of serenity, peace, safety, and fun.
