Les Bonnes Vacances: Vicky's Wheelchair Travels
Knowledge is Empowering
Hello everyone and welcome! My name is Vicky, and I am C6 quadriplegic and power wheelchair user. As I prepare for my fifth trip to Europe and first trip to Portugal with my family this summer, I am once again amazed by the magnitude of preparation that is required to figure out the basics of navigating a new city with a wheelchair. Seemingly simple things, like finding accessible transportation from the station to my hotel, can become major research projects!
​
I have learned so much from the posts and photos of other disabled travelers about destination accessibility, that I want to give back to the knowledge pool and share what information I can. I would love to hear your perspectives as well, so please feel free to share your personal experiences and thoughts in the comments. Thank you for reading, and Happy Travels!
